Trial Outcomes & Findings for Influence of Timing on Motor Learning (NCT NCT01769326)

NCT ID: NCT01769326

Last Updated: 2017-07-02

Results Overview

The primary end point was the change in Box and Blocks score, which measures how many blocks a subject can pick up and place in a box in 60 secons, from baseline to 1 month posttherapy. The higher the scores, the better arm and hand function indicated.

Measure
MusicGlove Group
Subject participates in 3 weeks of exercising with the experimental device: MusicGlove at a minimum of 3 days per week, 1 hour per day with the exercise program MusicGlove: The MusicGlove is a glove that detects different grip types. Subjects play a musical game by completing different grips.
Control Group for Music Glove
Subject participates in 3 weeks of conventional hand exercise program, at a minimum of 3 days per week, 1 hour per day with the exercise program. Conventional hand exercise: Conventional hand exercise consists of passive and active range of motion exercise, and simple coordination exercises with the fingers
Resonating Arm Exerciser (RAE)
Subject participates in 3 weeks of exercising with the experimental device: RAE at a minimum of 3 days per week, 1 hour per day with the exercise program Resonating Arm Exerciser: The RAE is a lever that attaches to a manual wheelchair with elastic bands and can be pushed back and forth to exercise the arm.
Control Group for RAE
Subject participates in 3 weeks of conventional arm exercise program, at a minimum of 3 days per week, 1 hour per day with the exercise program. Conventional Arm Exercise: Conventional arm exercise consists of passive and active range of motion exercise, and simple weight bearing exercises

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From baseline to 1 month post therapy

Population: Number of blocks participants able to pick up and place in a box in 60 seconds at one month follow up minus the number of blocks participants able to pick up and place in a box in 60 seconds at baseline. Please note that box and block test was the primary outcome measure for the Music Glove part of the study.

The primary end point was the change in Box and Blocks score, which measures how many blocks a subject can pick up and place in a box in 60 secons, from baseline to 1 month posttherapy. The higher the scores, the better arm and hand function indicated.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From baseline to 1 month post therapy

Population: Fugl-Meyer score at one month post therapy minus Fugl-Meyer score at baseline on a 66 point scale. Please note that Fugl-Meyer UE motor score is the primary outcome measure for RAE part of the study.

The primary outcome measure was the change in Upper Extremity FM score on a scale of 0 to 66 at one month post therapy. The higher the scores, the better arm and hand function indicated.
