Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Touch massage
Intervention group will receive touch massage on hands and feet and the intervention will start one week after the onset of stroke and last for 30 minutes each time, five days a week for two weeks
Touch massage
Touch massage is a gentle massage with strokes on hands, arms, feet and legs with at pressure of 2.5 N which is more gentle than Swedish massage but harder than strokes performed with a brush. The speed of the strokes is about 1-5 cm/sec. During the massage, the subjects will lie on a bed. Intervention group will receive touch massage on hands and feet and the intervention will start one week after the onset of stroke and last for 30 minutes each time, five days a week for two weeks
non-TENS
The sham treatment will start one week after the onset of stroke and last for 30 minutes each time, five days a week for two weeks
non-TENS
Subjects in the control group will have sham treatment which is a non-active transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (non-TENS), while they lie in bed with electrodes attached to the skin of the affected arm. The device will be manipulated in a way so that no electrical impulses will reach the electrodes. During treatment, the masseur will remain in the room without initiating any conversation.
