Chronic stroke with lower limb hemiparesis Stroke
Conditions
Interventions
Participants (n = 20) were randomly allocated (1:1) to two groups using block randomization (block size = 4) with allocation concealment performed by an independent researcher and assessor blinding
the experimental group (n = 10) received lower extremity constraint-induced movement therapy combined with the Terapia Contensão Induzida Mobile application, consisting of 10 consecutive weekdays of s
the control group (n = 10) received the same lower extremity constraint-induced movement therapy protocol with task completion recorded using paper forms

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: A greater improvement in affected lower extremity use in daily life is expected in the Terapia Contensao Induzida Mobile group compared to the control group measured by the Lower Extremity Motor Activity Log Functional Ability subscale at 30 days post intervention;Observed outcome 1: A significant group by time interaction was observed for the Lower Extremity Motor Activity Log Functional Ability subscale favoring the Terapia Contensao Induzida Mobile group at 30 days post intervention with a between group difference in change of 1.23 points 95 percent confidence interval 0.12 to 2.34 p equals 0.03 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 2: Improvements are expected in lower extremity use motor function mobility and walking performance measured by the Lower Extremity Motor Activity Log total score and subscales Lower Extremity Motor Function Test Life Space Assessment Timed Up and Go Six Minute Walk Test and Ten Meter Walk Test;Observed outcome 2: No significant group by time interactions were observed for secondary outcomes adherence was higher in the Terapia Contensao Induzida Mobile group compared to the control group | — |
