Conditions
Brief summary
Aims: To establish whether the effectiveness of conventional treatment is increased when it is complemented with video-based therapy, whether specific rehabilitation or commercial after subacute stroke. Design: Randomized clinical trial with pre / post-test and follow-up evaluation, assessor blinded study. Methodology: Three different groups: conventional treatment, conventional treatment and commercial videogame, or conventional treatment and specific rehabilitation videogame. The three groups completed 12 sessions.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Strength | Change from baseline at post 12 sessions of intervention and follow-up four weeks after having finished the intervention. | The microFET 2© dynamometer had been used in order to evaluate the strength in several muscle groups: Shoulder (flexion and extension, adduction and abduction, internal and external rotation), elbow (flexion and extension, supination and pronation), wrist (flexion and extension). |
| Range of motion | Change from baseline at post 12 sessions of intervention and follow-up four weeks after having finished the intervention. | The goniometer had been used in order to evaluate the range motion. Joints: Shoulder (flexion and extension, adduction and abduction, internal and external rotation), elbow (flexion and extension, supination and pronation), wrist (flexion and extension, ulnar and radial deviation ). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Fulg Meyer Assessment (FMA) | The measure was administrated in three times: pre intervention, post intervention (after 12 sessions carried out along four weeks) and follow-up four weeks after having finished the intervention. | The FMA was used to evaluated the upper limb function. |
| Muscle tone | The measure was administrated in three times: pre intervention, post intervention (after 12 sessions carried out along four weeks) and follow-up four weeks after having finished the intervention. | The Modified Ashworth scale has been used to evaluate the muscle tone. Muscle groups evaluated: Shoulder (flexion and extension, adduction and abduction, internal and external rotation), elbow (flexion and extension, supination and pronation), wrist (flexion and extension). |
| Box and Blocks test | The measure was administrated in three times: pre intervention, post intervention (after 12 sessions carried out along four weeks) and follow-up four weeks after having finished the intervention. | The Box and Blocks test was used to evaluate the manual dexterity in both upper limbs. |
| Activities of daily living | The measure was administrated in three times: pre intervention, post intervention (after 12 sessions carried out along four weeks) and follow-up four weeks after having finished the intervention. | The Functional Independence Measure (FIM-FAM) measure was used to evaluate the independence in the activities of daily living |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The ID-Pain© the Lattineen Index. | The measure was administrated in three times: pre intervention, post intervention (after 12 sessions carried out along four weeks) and follow-up four weeks after having finished the intervention. | The ID-Pain was used to evaluate the pain. |
| Lattineen Index. | The measure was administrated in three times: pre intervention, post intervention (after 12 sessions carried out along four weeks) and follow-up four weeks after having finished the intervention. | The Lattineen Index was used to evaluate the pain. |
