Assessment of the Functional Impact of a Close-loop Controlled Prehension Neuroprosthesis in Post-stroke Patients
Assessment of the Functional Impact of a Closed-loop Controlled Prehension Neuroprosthesis in Post-stroke Patients. PREHENS-STROKE
About This Trial
The aim of the PREHENS-STROKE study is to propose a functional replacement device to restore grip capacities in patients with hemiparesis after stroke, unable to actively open the hand to seize objects. The main objective is to evaluate the impact of the use of a self-controlled prehension neuroprosthesis on the ability to perform a standardized grasping task, consisting of grasping, relocating and releasing a glass (palmar grasp) or a spoon (key-pinch), compared to a condition without the use of the prehension neuroprosthesis.

Prehension neuroprosthesis
The experimental condition corresponds to patients in the condition where the prehension neuroprosthesis is active, which means that the extensor muscles of the fingers and thumb will be stimulated by the prehension neuroprosthesis to ensure the opening of the hand. The prehension neuroprosthesis designates a functional electrical stimulation device controlled by the patient which will itself trigger the stimulation of the extensor muscles of the fingers (closed-loop control), according to stimuli which it controls voluntarily. The goal is to restore an opening of the fingers to capture objects. The control condition corresponds to the patients in the condition where the prehension neuroprosthesis is inactive.
