Official title
The Feasibility of a Mental Practice Protocol With Severe Upper Extremity Hemiparesis
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study aims to examine the acceptability of patients and occupational therapists in following a mental practice protocol and examine the effects of mental practice with individuals with severe upper extremity hemiparesis (weakness) following a stroke. Mental practice is an adjunctive rehabilitation therapy that involves thinking about a motor task without actually moving. Research has shown that mental practice is a safe and feasible intervention that is effective in improving arm movements after a stroke. Patients in the study will participate in audio-guided mental practice, five days a week for two weeks, completing the following tasks: wiping a table and picking up a cup. The patients' ability to move their affected arm will be measured before and after the study to determine the effect of mental practice. Patients and occupational therapists will complete a survey to determine their feelings about performing or facilitating mental practice. The authors hypothesize that the majority of patients and occupational therapists will find mental practice to be feasible/acceptable for the recovery of the affected arm. Furthermore, we anticipate the majority of patients that complete the mental practice protocol will demonstrate improvements in their arm movements.
