About this study
Official title: Benefits of a Home Grip Assistance Glove on the Use of the Upper Limb and Compliance Factors in Brain-injured Adults: Comparative Multicenter Study
On a functional level, performing the actions of daily life requires coordinated activity of the muscles of the upper limbs. The quality of motor recovery and/or technical assistance aimed at compensating for the movement deficit of the paretic upper limb (MSP) determines the possibilities of using the upper limb (MS) in activities of daily life.
Interventions in the chronic phase of stroke aim to return home. The integration of the paretic upper limb into daily life activities is a major issue regarding the prognosis of recovery of use of the upper limb. Independence in daily life becomes an ultimate goal to take charge of.
This study focuses on a new technical aid device, standard orthosis type, expanding the range of gripping gloves: the SaeboGlove in everyday environments. These MS orthoses help improve the use and function of the MSP in post-stroke adults as well as their independence and participation in society.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Putting on the gripping gloveDevice
taking measurements and putting the gripping glove on the patient
ULPA questionnaireOther
The evaluation of the effectiveness of the gripping glove on the performance of the upper limb in daily life will be evaluated using the ULPA score.
The investigator asks the patient to perform a task and the ULPA collects the total number of errors made by the patient (inability/omission, imprecision, repetition, time to complete the task)
Motor Activity Log (MAL) QuestionnaireOther
The MAL is a self-assessment of the integration of the upper limb into daily life. This measurement allows a quantified evaluation of the perceived performance of the use of the upper limb in the actions of daily life.
The patient will answer 30 questions about daily life and for each item, rate the quantity from 0 to 5: 0 = never uses the hemiplegic arm and 5 = uses as much as before the accident
Fugl-Meyer Assessment Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) questionnaireOther
This questionnaire assesses the motor selectivity of the upper limb. Several questions are asked about the movements that the patient can perform and to each question, the patient can answer either 0 (minimum) and 2 (maximum).
Score Action Arm Research TestOther
This questionnaire evaluates 4 different actions: Grasping an object (6 different objects to grasp), holding an object (4 different objects), pinching an object (6 different objects) and the overall movements made by the patient (3 different overall movements).
For each item, each object or each movement evaluated, the patient must rate the task on a scale of 0 to 3 (0=cannot perform any part of the test and 3=performs the test normally)
EuroQol five-level (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaireOther
This questionnaire assesses the patient's state of health. 5 items are proposed (mobility, autonomy, current activity, pain, anxiety) and for each the patient must check one of the 5 propositions (no problem, mild problems, moderate problems, severe problems, incapable). The patient must also rate their state of health on a scale of 0 to 100.
Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive TechnologyOther
This questionnaire assesses satisfaction with the technical aid (here the gripping glove) and the related services. The technique and related services will be evaluated by items provided to the patient and he will have to rate for each of them a score between 1 and 5 (1 = not satisfied at all and 5 = very satisfied)
Psychosocial Impact of Assistive Devices Scale (PIADS)Other
This questionnaire measures the effect of technical aids on the psychosocial level. 26 sentences or words are offered to the patient concerning his psychological state and the patient must evaluate them between -3 and 3 (-3 = decreased and +3: increased)
Goal Attainment Scale (GAS)Other
Carrying out an activity in the patient's real context is assessed using the Goal Attainment Scale (GAS). The doctor gives the patient objectives to achieve and the patient must give the quotation for each objective between initial state (-2), expected result (0) and best possible result (2)
installation and collection of accelerometersOther
The accelerometer quantitatively reports the spontaneous use of the upper limb in daily life. It counts the number of voluntary movements of the upper limbs. The amount of movement of the paretic upper limb will be expressed as a percentage of the movements of the non-paretic limb.

| Score Action Arm Research TestThis questionnaire evaluates 4 different actions: Grasping an object (6 different objects to grasp), holding an object (4 different objects), pinching an object (6 different objects) and the overall movements made by the patient (3 different overall movements). For each item, each object or each movement evaluated, the patient must rate the task on a scale of 0 to 3 (0=cannot perform any part of the test and 3=performs the test normally) | Other | Task handover model #1, Task handover model #2, Task handover model #3, Task handover model #4, Task handover model #5, Task handover model #6, Task handover model #7, Task handover model #8 |
| EuroQol five-level (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaireThis questionnaire assesses the patient's state of health. 5 items are proposed (mobility, autonomy, current activity, pain, anxiety) and for each the patient must check one of the 5 propositions (no problem, mild problems, moderate problems, severe problems, incapable). The patient must also rate their state of health on a scale of 0 to 100. | Other | Task handover model #1, Task handover model #2, Task handover model #3, Task handover model #4, Task handover model #5, Task handover model #6, Task handover model #7, Task handover model #8 |
| Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive TechnologyThis questionnaire assesses satisfaction with the technical aid (here the gripping glove) and the related services. The technique and related services will be evaluated by items provided to the patient and he will have to rate for each of them a score between 1 and 5 (1 = not satisfied at all and 5 = very satisfied) | Other | Task handover model #1, Task handover model #2, Task handover model #3, Task handover model #4, Task handover model #5, Task handover model #6, Task handover model #7, Task handover model #8 |
| Psychosocial Impact of Assistive Devices Scale (PIADS)This questionnaire measures the effect of technical aids on the psychosocial level. 26 sentences or words are offered to the patient concerning his psychological state and the patient must evaluate them between -3 and 3 (-3 = decreased and +3: increased) | Other | Task handover model #1, Task handover model #2, Task handover model #3, Task handover model #4, Task handover model #5, Task handover model #6, Task handover model #7, Task handover model #8 |
| Goal Attainment Scale (GAS)Carrying out an activity in the patient's real context is assessed using the Goal Attainment Scale (GAS). The doctor gives the patient objectives to achieve and the patient must give the quotation for each objective between initial state (-2), expected result (0) and best possible result (2) | Other | Task handover model #1, Task handover model #2, Task handover model #3, Task handover model #4, Task handover model #5, Task handover model #6, Task handover model #7, Task handover model #8 |
| installation and collection of accelerometersThe accelerometer quantitatively reports the spontaneous use of the upper limb in daily life. It counts the number of voluntary movements of the upper limbs. The amount of movement of the paretic upper limb will be expressed as a percentage of the movements of the non-paretic limb. | Other | Task handover model #1, Task handover model #2, Task handover model #3, Task handover model #4, Task handover model #5, Task handover model #6, Task handover model #7, Task handover model #8 |
Primary outcome
Evaluation of the effectiveness of the gripping glove
