Effects of Proprioceptive Sensitivity Stimulation Via the SURA Electrodevice on Kinematics, Kinetics and Spatiotemporal Parameters of Gait.
Sponsor: Facultat de ciencies de la Salut Universitat Ramon Llull
Summary
Recovery of function in people with central nervous system (CNS) injury after stroke is very much like a relearning process that takes advantage of preserved sensorimotor circuits. Relearning can be optimised by providing appropriate proprioceptive (or deep sensory) information to the spinal cord with the aim of maximally engaging the preserved neural circuits. The development of the SURA electrodevice offers this sensitive input mechanism, within the Botton Up therapies. And through research on its use, the impact on the different dimensions related to gait and its components, and the translation to the functional reality of the person, will be evaluated.

Interventions
SURA
The motor points are the site of penetration of the motor nerve fibres and the highest concentration of motor plates in the muscle, which when stimulated produce the maximum effective muscle contraction. For 15 minutes and in a comfortable seated position at 90° hip, knee and foot, sustained pressure of 30 seconds each shall be exerted through the output plunger of the proprioceptive stimulus device.
