Cycling with Biofeedback for Stroke Recovery

This study is looking at how using a recumbent cycle with biofeedback (BFB) can help people who have had a stroke. Biofeedback gives you real-time information about your power production and how balanced your power is between your legs while cycling. The study aims to see if this type of cycling can improve how evenly you walk (gait symmetry) and your overall ability to move around after a stroke. You might be able to join if you are 18 to 70 years old, have had a specific type of stroke (MCA or ACA ischemic or intracerebral hemorrhagic stroke), and have some weakness in your leg. Researchers will measure changes in your cycling power and how evenly you walk before and after the cycling intervention. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 20 participants.

Study design
This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific treatment. It plans to enroll 20 participants.
What's involved
Participants will take part in a 32-minute recumbent cycling session with biofeedback during inpatient rehabilitation. Measurements will be taken on admission day 2 and day 14.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Measurements are taken at pre- (admission day 2) and post- (day 14) intervention.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

AND demonstrating lower extremity hemiparesis \[\< 100 on lower limb Motricity Index24\] 2. 18 to 70 years of age 3. a Functional Ambulation Category of 2 (Dependent Level II) through 5 (Independent Level surfaces only) 4. medical clearance to participate

What this trial measures

  • Change in cycling powerpre- (admission day 2) and post- (day 14)

    Determine the change in cycling power using Biofeedback (BFB) on a group of participants with stroke in an Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility

  • Change in gait symmetrypre- (admission day 2) and post- (day 14)

    Determine the effect size of the change in gait symmetry pre- to post-intervention after cycling with Biofeedback (BFB). Participants will be assessed on gait symmetry patterns (magnitude and timing of propulsion), using an instrumented treadmill (Bertec).
