Stroke

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

SURA

SURA: The motor points are the site of penetration of the motor nerve fibres and the highest concentration of motor plates in the muscle, which when stimulated produce the maximum effective muscle contraction. For 15 minutes and in a comfortable seated position at 90° hip, knee and foot, sustained pressure of 30 seconds each shall be exerted through the output plunger of the proprioceptive stimulus device.

Study summary

Recovery of function in people with central nervous system (CNS) injury after stroke is very much like a relearning process that takes advantage of preserved sensorimotor circuits. Relearning can be optimised by providing appropriate proprioceptive (or deep sensory) information to the spinal cord with the aim of maximally engaging the preserved neural circuits. The development of the SURA electrodevice offers this sensitive input mechanism, within the Botton Up therapies. And through research on its use, the impact on the different dimensions related to gait and its components, and the translation to the functional reality of the person, will be evaluated.

Inclusion Criteria: * Unilateral hemispheric stroke (ischaemic or haemorrhagic) diagnosed by MRI or CT scan, at least 3 months after onset of stroke * Ability to walk at least 10m (irrespective of the need for assistance) * Weakness in ankle dorsiflexion of the paretic limb (TFM\>3) * Ankle ROM \>30° and 0° of foot dorsiflexion in knee extension * Age between 18 and 85 years * Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) \> 24 score, non-disabling cognitive impairment * Presence of clonus and hyperresistance to passive joint movement. Exclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of Cognitive, visual or cardiorespiratory disorder (including cardiac pacemaker placement, heart failure and arrhythmia) * Orthopaedic intervention for IE * Balance disorders with vestibular features * Skin diseases * Botulinum toxin treatment within the last year. * In addition, subjects who had participated in other studies in the last six months that could interact with the current study will be excluded.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • The kinematics, kinetics and spatio-temporal parameters of gait. — Start of intervention, at 4 weeks and at completion 8 weeks
    An instrumented gait analysis will be performed to obtain a set of spatiotemporal, kinematic and kinetic measurements.The movement will be captured by the Ephion Vitality system. The system consists of two pressure templates and seven inertial sensors (measuring linear acceleration, angular velocity and magnetic field in all three dimensions).
