About this study

Official title: The Effects of Reaching Task Following Selective Trunk Stability Exercise in Chronic Stroke Survivors

Read the detailed description

All participants provided written informed consent and are assigned to Group A or Group B. The inclusion criteria are Exclusion criteria are

Abdominal drawing-in maneuver exercise is following as:

It's for strengthening the Transversus Abdominis muscle(TrA). The simple device, that observes the pressure changes by the gauge. Subjects receive intervention 2 times a week for 4 weeks. Each session is 40 minutes. From the supine position to the hook-lying position (hip joint at 40 degrees and the knee joint at 80 degrees) and pull the navel deeply to the lumbar region through the Stabilizer™ Pressure Biofeedback that stabilizes transversus abdominis muscle. At this time, subjects are controlled to maintain contraction while keep breathing lightly, to contract slowly, also to not move the pelvis and chest while exercising The device assists in body control movements of the spine and abdominal muscle.

Conventional physiotherapy is following as:

Release pain, limb stretching, mobilization of joint and pelvic movement. Subjects receive 2 times a week for 4 weeks. Each session is 40 minutes. Group A received Abdominal drawing-in maneuver exercise for 4 weeks on period 1. Afterward washout period in a month, follow period 2 of conventional physiotherapy.

On the other side, Group B receives first conventional physiotherapy on period 1. Afterward washout period in a month, follow period 2 of Abdominal drawing-in maneuver exercise.

Conditions: Cerebral Stroke, Hemiplegia, Spastic

Limitations and caveats (from the sponsor): we must acknowledge a limitation in our study related to the influence of a carryover effect and period effect. This phenomenon may be partially explained within the context of persistence of treatment and learned behavior. Secondly, our study employed a crossover design, spanning a three-month duration. Despite random allocation, four participants dropped out during the washout period, leading to a smaller sample size and uneven group distribution in period 2.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Abdominal drawing-in maneuver exercise in people with Cerebral Stroke and Hemiplegia, Spastic, run by University of Valencia at 1 site in South Korea.

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 6 inclusion and 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 May 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 May 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

The Effect of a Particular Intervention During the Entire Course of the study_Trunk Dislocation (time frame: Baseline, two period(each 4weeks), wash out(4weeks)). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05767437, which also lists 8 linked publications.

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?
