NCT03171077

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of use the Nintendo Wii® (NW) and therapeutic exercises by the method Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) in the recovery of the motor function of poststroke hemiparesis patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Effectiveness of virtual rehabilitation and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation in the recovery of the motor function post stroke

    Fugl-Meyer Assessment

    8 weeks

Study Arms (3)

Virtual Rehabilitation

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

A virtual rehabilitation program (G0) based on the use of the NW for a period of two months, with sessions two times a week for 50 minutes (a total of 16 sessions).All treatment groups prior to perform the study interventions,stretches of upper and lower limbs for 10 minutes. The G0 treatment program consists of the following protocols: a) protocol 1 games (Balance Bubble Plus and Tennis); b) protocol 2 games (Rhythm Parade and Boxing).

Other: Virtual Rehabilitation

PNF Method

EXPERIMENTAL

A program of therapeutic exercises (G1) based on the PNF method for a period of two months, with sessions two times a week for 50 minutes (a total of 16 sessions).All treatment groups prior to perform the study interventions,stretches of upper and lower limbs for 10 minutes. The G1 treatment program consists of the following protocols: a) protocol 1 : 30 minutes diagonal exercise upper limb (flexion-abduction-external rotation and extension-abduction-internal rotation), and 10 minutes diagonal exercise scapula (anterior and posterior elevation); b) protocol 2: 20 minutes diagonal exercise lower limb (flexion-abduction-external rotation and flexion-abduction-internal rotation),10 minutes diagonal exercise pelvis (anterior and posterior depression), and 10 minutes gait cycle training;

Other: PNF Method

Virtual Rehabilitation and PNF Method

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

In G2 program will be performed 20 minutes G0 protocol (1 or 2, used alternately between sessions a week) and 20 minutes G1 protocol (1 or 2, used alternately between sessions a week), taking the time of the performed activities halved in both protocols.

Other: Virtual Rehabilitation and PNF Method

Interventions

It is the use of the NW games for rehabilitation of balance in post-stroke patients.

Also known as: NW Wii-rehabilitation Commercial Game
