Brief Summary

The aim of the study was to analyze the importance of the position of the body and the examined upper limb on the parameters of movement coordination and hand grip strength in various age groups of people after a stroke and healthy individuals.

Conditions

Stroke

stroke; age; grip strength; coordination movement; stabilization

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• Maximum range of movement of the wrist [mm]

  Hand Tutor allows measurements of the maximum range of motion (ROM).

  up to 1 week

• Frequency of wrist movement (flexion to extension), cycles#/sec

  The Hand Tutor allows measurements the speed or frequency (i.e., the number of cycles

  up to 1 week

• Frequency of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th finger movement (flexion to extension), cycles#/sec

  The Hand Tutor allows measurements the speed or frequency (i.e., the number of cycles

  up to 1 week

• 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th finger maximum range of motion (ROM), [mm]

  The Hand Tutor allows measurements of the maximum range of motion (ROM).

  up to 1 week

• Assessment of the grip strength

  Grip strength, kg (a manual electronic dynamometer (EH 101) was used for grip strength measurement (error of measurement, 0.5 kg/lb)

  up to 1 week

Study Arms (1)

To improve the coordination of the wrist and hand after stroke in three age groups.

EXPERIMENTAL

The test consisted of two motor tasks, carried out in two different starting positions: sitting and lying down (supine). During the first examination, the subject sat on the therapeutic table (without back support), feet resting on the floor. The upper limb was to be examined in adduction, with the elbow bent in the intermediate position between pronation and supination of the forearm. In the supine position, the upper limb was stabilized at the subject's body (adduction in the humeral joint, elbow flexion in the intermediate position).

Procedure: hand motor coordination in a sitting positin

Interventions

hand motor coordination in a sitting positin PROCEDURE

Before each test, the patient was instructed on how the exercise should be done. The test consisted of two motor tasks, carried out in two different starting positions: sitting and lying down (supine). During the first examination, the subject sat on the therapeutic table (without back support), feet resting on the floor. The upper limb was to be examined in adduction, with the elbow bent in the intermediate position between pronation and supination of the forearm. In the supine position, the upper limb was stabilized at the subject's body (adduction in the humeral joint, elbow flexion in the intermediate position).

Also known as: hand motor coordination in a supine position

To improve the coordination of the wrist and hand after stroke in three age groups.
