The objective of this study was to determine the effect of sensory impairment level of individual stroke survivors on motor improvement with therapy and peripheral sensory stimulation. A secondary analysis of a pilot triple-blind randomized controlled trial was used. Twelve chronic stroke survivors were randomly assigned to the treatment group receiving peripheral sensory stimulation or the control group receiving no stimulation during 2-week hand task practice therapy. Sensory impairment level was quantified as the pre-intervention sensory threshold. Motor improvement was assessed as change in the Box and Block Test score from pre- to post-intervention. The association between sensory impairment level and motor improvement was examined using a regression analysis, accounting for groups. This study found that participants with better sensation (i.e., with lower sensory threshold) had better motor improvement than patients with worse sensation (i.e., with higher sensory threshold). Sensory impairment level did not alter the effect of peripheral sensory stimulation. These findings suggest that the level of sensory impairment may predict recovery potentials and direct rehabilitation treatment for stroke survivors.</p>","PeriodicalId":74282,"journal":{"name":"Neurology and neurorehabilitation","volume":"4 3","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9918228/pdf/nihms-1848411.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10721280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
