Assessment

Primary outcomes

In this study, H-reflexes will be measured from the paretic-side flexor carpi radialis muscle before and during vibratory stimulation. The waveform analysis parameters of the H-reflex will include the average H-wave amplitude and the H/M amplitude ratio.

Key secondary outcomes

In this study, muscle hardness will be measured in addition to the H-reflex.

Interventions/Control_1

Vibration stimulation generally requires setting the frequency, amplitude, load weight, stimulation site, and stimulation time. In this study, a vibration stimulus with a frequency of 80 Hz, amplitude 0.4 mm, and load weight 400 g for 70 seconds to the FCR on the paralyzed side. A muscle-tendon vibratory stimulation device, MGV-1000-F (Uchida Electron Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan), was utilized to apply the vibratory stimulation.

Key inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria were defined as patients with upper limb motor impairment after stroke and a Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) score of 1 or higher in the flexor carpi radialis muscle.

Key exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria were as follows: participants with a FCR MAS score of 4, those unable to maintain the starting position of the examination due to joint range of motion limitations, those with upper limb motor disorders not caused by stroke, those with bilateral hemiplegia, those with a Hasegawa Dementia Scale Revised (HDS-R) score of 21 or lower, and those with superficial or deep sensory loss.
