ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how new technology, specifically artificial intelligence and computer vision, can help people recover their movement skills after having a stroke. The goal is to see if these advanced tools can improve rehabilitation practices for patients who have experienced a stroke and are dealing with issues like reduced strength or muscle tightness in their arms.

To be eligible for the trial, participants should be between 65 and 74 years old and have had a recent stroke within the last six months that affects their arm movement. They should have some strength in their arm but still face challenges due to muscle tone problems. However, individuals with more severe impairments or certain other health issues, like severe pain or cognitive disorders, would not be eligible. Those who participate can expect to be involved in exercises that utilize the latest technology to help improve their motor skills, which could lead to better recovery outcomes in their daily lives.

Eligibility criteria

• Inclusion Criteria:
• Recent hemispheric stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic):
• • Rankin scale: 3
• • Within 6 months post stroke.
• • Upper limb hemiparesis with strength ≤3 points proximally.
• • Muscle tone rise (≤3 points) on Ashford scale.
• • Complex sensitivity preserved per neuro examination
• Exclusion Criteria:
• • Rankin scale of 4 points and higher.
• • 6 months or more after undergoing stroke.
• • Structural changes in the joints of the upper extremities that limit joint mobility (contractures, ankylosis, metal structures that limit mobility).
• • Severe pain syndrome in the paretic upper limb at rest or when moving, preventing exercise (7 points or more on the scale).
• • Gross cognitive disorders, psychoemotional arousal, signs of hysteria, pseudobulbar syndrome (violent laughter, crying), aphasic disorders that prevent understanding of the task.
• • Visual disturbances that prevent the perception of information (neglect, hemianopia, myopia, diplopia).
