About this study

Post-stroke patients often present with gait disorders due to several physical impairments. Hip flexor deficit is one of the more prevalent trouble and is associated with gait capacities. This study aims at evaluating the impact of an isokinetic hip flexors strengthening rehabilitation program in the subacute phase after stroke. Patients will be randomized to an intervention group (isokinetic rehabilitation) or a control group (conventional rehabilitation) and assessed at the end of the rehabilitation program, at 3 and at 6 months.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Isokinetic hip flexors strengtheningProcedure or surgery

    Isokinetic excentric strengthening of paretic hip flexors, 3/w during 6 weeks, in addition to conventional rehabilitation 7/w.

  • Conventional rehabilitationProcedure or surgery

    Conventional rehabilitation 10/w during 6 weeks

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Max gait speed (m/s)

    Gait speed will be assessed in the 10m walk test

    Measured: 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Max gait speed (m/s)

    Gait speed will be assessed in the 10m walk test

    Measured: 3 and 6 months

  2. Hip flexors strength

    Hip flexors strength will be evaluated using an isokinetic dynamometer (concentric, 30°/s) and motor testing (medical research council)

    Measured: 6weeks; 3 and 6 months

  3. Gait endurance

    Gait endurance will be assessed using the 6MWT

    Measured: 6 weeks; 3 and 6 months

  4. Gait capacities

    Functional ambulation categories (FAC)

    Measured: 6 weeks; 3 and 6 months

  5. Balance and postural control

    Postural Assessment for Stroke Scale (PASS)

    Measured: 6 weeks; 3 and 6 months

  6. Balance and postural control

    Timed-up and go test

    Measured: 6 weeks; 3 and 6 months

  7. Rate of perceived exhaustion during gait

    Borg scale

    Measured: 6 weeks; 3 and 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Isokinetic hip flexors strengthening and Conventional rehabilitation in people with Stroke and Hemiplegia, run by University Hospital, Lille.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Max gait speed (m/s) (time frame: 6 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Sep 2018.
