Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Stroke survivors have higher risks of falling compared to other healthy non-stroke adults. Stroke patients' balance can be trained by Kinect-based training that enable user friendly and interactive training.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Kinect based Rapid Movement Therapy

Kinect based Rapid Movement Therapy (RMT) training requires participants to move their limbs very rapidly to reach-to-grasp or step towards a virtual target appear suddenly on a screen, which is designed to their range of motion as well as response speed.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Balance training

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Improvement of balance ability in stroke patients

Conventional balance training

Conventional balance training involves some slow and low-impact muscle strengthening and mobilizing exercises.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Balance training

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. have single stroke with onset \>1 year,
2. have unilateral paresis,
3. are 50 years of age or older,
4. able to stand without aid for at least 15min,
5. have moderate level of motor impairment in the affective upper limb, i.e. 15≤ Fugl-Meyer Assessment for upper-extremity(FMA-UE) ≤ 45,
6. have some level of deficit in balance control, i.e. Berg Balance Scale(BBS)\< 52/56,
7. have a minimum Snellen visual acuity of 20/40 with/without spectacles,
8. have a minimum Mini-Mental-Status-Examination score of 22/30, and
9. have to be able to follow the training procedures.

Exclusion Criteria

1. enrolled in other rehabilitation program in the study duration,
2. have other neurological conditions in addition to stroke (e.g. Parkinson's disease),
3. have unstable cardiovascular disease (e.g. history of heart disease, or poorly controlled hypertension, i.e. blood pressure \>160mmHg/100mmHg), or
4. have other serious diseases or conditions (e.g. osteoporosis, recent joint replacement surgery, amputation) that preclude them from participating in the study.
