NCT06927206N/ARecruitingUpdate OverdueUpdated 10mo ago · Completion was 9mo agoCombined Effects of Segmental Vibrator With Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation for Dorsiflexors on Lower Limb Function in Subacute Stroke
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Experimental Group A: Segmental vibrator only on dorsiflexor and Experimental Group B: Segmental vibrator + Electrical stimulation on dorsiflexors for Subacute Stroke and Ischemic Stroke. Currently recruiting, targeting 50 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary
Stroke is one of the world's leading causes of death and disability. It can cause a variety of motor disorders, such as apraxia, sensory deficits, abnormal muscle tone, inadequate weight transfer, lack of fine motor skills, incoordination, and balance deficit. These disorders can have a significant negative impact on a person's quality of life.

Timeline
Interventions
Segmental vibrator only on dorsiflexor: After standard physiotherapy session this group received the intervention of segmental vibration. Tibialis anterior muscle targeted for dorsiflexor. The segmental vibration of high frequency i.e 100 Hz and low amplitude (0.2-0.5mm) was applied at muscle belly for 10 min while interpersed with a 1 min break by mean of segmental vibrator.
Segmental vibrator + Electrical stimulation on dorsiflexors: After standard physiotherapy session this group received the intervention of neuromuscular electrical stimulations by means of EMS. Two electrodes were used for this procedure. Tibialis anterior muscle targeted for dorsiflexor. One pad of electrode was placed on anterior of lower leg just below tibial tuberisty and other was 5cm below to it .With a 250-microsecond pulse duration, the EMS device was set up to provide a biphasic current with a symmetrical waveform at 50 Hz for 15 seconds. It was also tuned for a 3-second ramp up time and a 30-second rest period. Each respondent set the intensity to the highest level they could tolerate. Secondly, segmental vibrator was applied for focal vibrations on tibialis anterior. The segmental vibration of high frequency i.e 100 Hz and low amplitude (0.2-0.5mm) was applied at muscle belly for 10 min while interpersed with a 1 min break by mean of segmental vibrator.
