Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age: 30-80 years old
- Patients with diagnosis of unilateral (both right and left) ischemic or haemorrhagic stroke
- Stroke event dates at least 3 months before the date of inclusion to the study
- Mild-to-moderate sensory loss at the fingers of the hand contralateral to the stroke lesion (affected hand)
- Capacity to provide written consent
- Affiliation to a social security scheme
Non-Inclusion Criteria:
- Sensory impairment attributable to diabetes history, peripheral vascular disease or neuropathy
- Severe speech disorder, global aphasia and/or cognitive impairment
- Multiple stroke events
- Bilateral stroke event
- Hemineglect
- History of neurological or psychiatric illness

- Adult persons subject to a legal protection measure: guardianship, curatorship
- Congenital or acquired malformation/injury of the test finger
Exclusion Criteria:
- Impossibility to maintain hand position necessary for the tests due to severe spasticity

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Tactile acuity : 2 point discrimination test
Time Frame: Week 3
|
The Primary outcome measure is a composite of 2point discrimination test (2PDT) and Absolute threshold detection test after 3h of RSS. Spatial discrimination of the finger, Absolute threshold detection of the finger. |
Week 3
|
Tactile acuity : Absolute threshold detection test after 3h of RSS
Time Frame: Week 3
|
The Primary outcome measure is a composite of 2point discrimination test (2PDT) and Absolute threshold detection test after 3h of RSS. Spatial discrimination of the finger, Absolute threshold detection of the finger. |

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Jebsen-Taylor hand function test (JTHFT)
Time Frame: Week 3
|
Overall functionality of the hand, especially with regard to handling objects
|
Week 3
|
Questionnaire comfort/ease to use
Time Frame: Week 3
|
A self-reported assessment will be administered after the completion of testing procedure: a custom-made questionnaire including the ease of use, perceived sensations during RSS, easy positioning, pain on removal, positive and negative aspects of RSS, willing to continue using after release from the hospital, and willing to recommend to others.
