Affective Responses in Neurological Rehabilitation

NCT ID: NCT02767466

Last Updated: 2016-05-10

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Total Enrollment: 16 participants
• Study Classification: OBSERVATIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2012-12-31

Brief Summary

Using a single blind within-subject design, 16 patients with neurological disorders were randomly exposed to two different treatments: physical therapy and robotic assisted gait training. Both before and after the treatments, a self-report Mood Survey Scale (MSS) was used to assess the effects on the treatment on distinct affective states. The subscales of the MSS were tested for pre-post changes and different effects between treatments with non-parametric tests.

Conditions

Neurological Incidents; Stroke; Traumatic Brain Injury

Study Design

• Observational Model Type: CASE_CROSSOVER
• Study Time Perspective: PROSPECTIVE

Study Groups

G

All participants were randomly exposed to two different treatments:

• Conventional physical therapy (no specific device used)
• Robotic assisted gait training (Lokomat, Hocoma AG, Switzerland)

We consider the study as observational, since the both interventions of the study (physical therapy, robotic assisted gait training) did not change in the patients' usual therapy plan, as they received both interventions daily.

We only added diagnostic interventions to assess the affective responses.
