Changes in Motor Function and Functional Brain Connectivity on Subacute Ischemic Stroke Patients, Associated With a New Videogame Therapy Platform

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Device, Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

The use of interactive applications associated with movement sensors has begun to spread as an option for the reinforcement of physical rehabilitation therapies in patients with acquired motor disabilities as a consequence of some neurological damage, due to their portability and the relative autonomy that they grant to the patient. However, the results of its effectiveness and impact continue to be discreet compared to traditional therapy. The present study aims to explore possible changes in motor function and in the brain's functional connectivity through resting-state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (rs-fMRI), for subacute ischemic stroke outpatients, associated with occupational therapy using interactive applications as a therapeutic complement, comparing with patients on conventional therapy, for which a randomized pilot study with an experimental group and a matched control group will be carried out. The intervention will consist of the application of a virtual rehabilitation program in addition to physical therapy for the experimental group, while the control group will receive conventional physical therapy. Before and after the said intervention, standardized tests will be applied to evaluate the mobility, motor function, and cognitive impairment of the participants. The results obtained will be subject to statistical analysis.
