Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Upon admission, demographic details and medical histories of all participants are recorded. Each patient undergoes clinical evaluations at all time points by an experienced investigator blinded to group allocation and distinct from the recruiting personnel. The clinical assessment includes stroke severity evaluation using the NIH Stroke Scale, motor and functional limb abilities using the Fugl-Meyer scale, SAFE score, and Motricity Index. Additionally, bioimpedance analysis of muscle mass and phase angle in the impaired upper limb is performed using the BWA device.
All participants follow a standardized daily rehabilitation program. Physical therapists, blinded to treatment allocation, are instructed on the duration, frequency, and content of therapy to ensure consistency across groups.
Low-amplitude rMV (frequency: 100 Hz; amplitude: 1-2 mm) is applied to the flexor carpi radialis and biceps brachii for upper limb treatment, using a commercial device (VibraMoov Physio, TechnoConcept, Mane, France). The rMV sessions are conducted over three consecutive days by two trained physiotherapists, with each daily session comprising three 10-minute treatments (per treated limb) interspersed with 1-minute breaks.
During the rMV sessions, participants are instructed to perform voluntary isometric contractions of the treated muscle. In contrast, CG participants undergo sham rMV, where the vibrator is positioned near the tendon but without vibration.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Patients with Vibration
VG participants undergo rMV treatment, carried out for three consecutive days by 2 trained physiatrists; each daily session consists of three 10-minute treatment (impaired upper limb), interspersed with a 1-minute break. During the rMV, subjects are required to make a voluntary isometric contraction of the treated muscle
Repeated Muscle Vibration (rMV)
rMV treatment, carried out for three consecutive days by 2 trained physiatrists; each daily session consists of three 10-minute treatment (impaired upper limb), interspersed with a 1-minute break. During the rMV, subjects are required to make a voluntary isometric contraction of the treated muscle
Control group (CG)
Participants in the CG undergo sham rMV, where the vibrator is positioned near the tendon but does not produce vibrations. Sham rMV treatment is carried out for three consecutive days by 2 trained physiatrists; each daily session consists of three 10-minute treatment (impaired upper limb), interspersed with a 1-minute break. During the rMV, subjects are required to make a voluntary isometric contraction of the treated muscle
Repeated Muscle Vibration (rMV)
rMV treatment, carried out for three consecutive days by 2 trained physiatrists; each daily session consists of three 10-minute treatment (impaired upper limb), interspersed with a 1-minute break. During the rMV, subjects are required to make a voluntary isometric contraction of the treated muscle
