Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
uninflated - rest
splint around the arm is not inflated both arms are in rest during the entire trial
uninflated air splint
no deep pressure applied by the air splint
uninflated - triggered
splint around the arm is not inflated 5x flexion and extension with the contralateral arm (with weight of 5kg in the hands)
uninflated air splint
no deep pressure applied by the air splint
contralateral movement
non-hemiplegic arm is flexed and extended 5 times, with a weight of 5kg in the hand, in order to trigger hypertonia in the hemiplegic arm
constantly inflated - rest
splint around the arm is constantly inflated both arms are in rest during the entire trial
constant deep pressure applied by an air splint
inflation of the Johnstone air splint gives a constant local deep pression on the hemiplegic arm
constantly inflated - triggered
splint around the arm is constantly inflated 5x flexion and extension with the contralateral arm (with weight of 5kg in the hands)
constant deep pressure applied by an air splint
inflation of the Johnstone air splint gives a constant local deep pression on the hemiplegic arm
contralateral movement
non-hemiplegic arm is flexed and extended 5 times, with a weight of 5kg in the hand, in order to trigger hypertonia in the hemiplegic arm
intermittently inflated - rest
splint around the arm is intermittently inflated both arms are in rest during the entire trial
intermittent deep pressure applied by an air splint
continuous inflation and deflation of the Johnstone air splint gives an intermittent local deep pression on the hemiplegic arm
intermittently inflated - triggered
splint around the arm is intermittently inflated 5x flexion and extension with the contralateral arm (with weight of 5kg in the hands)
intermittent deep pressure applied by an air splint
continuous inflation and deflation of the Johnstone air splint gives an intermittent local deep pression on the hemiplegic arm
contralateral movement
non-hemiplegic arm is flexed and extended 5 times, with a weight of 5kg in the hand, in order to trigger hypertonia in the hemiplegic arm
