Tele-CE in Severe Stroke

11. Juni 2026 aktualisiert von: Sangeetha Madhavan, University of Illinois at Chicago

Effect of Home-based Cross-education on Lower Limb Neuroplasticity in Severe Stroke

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effects of home-based cross-education on lower limb neuroplasticity in severe stroke.

The main questions the investigators aim to answer are:

  • What are the effects of home-based cross-education on lower limb neuroplasticity?
  • What are the effects of home-based cross-education on lower limb function?
  • Is home-based cross-education feasible to administer and accepted by participants?

Participants will take part in ten home-based, remotely supervised sessions, during which participants will either perform unilateral skill and strength training of the unaffected lower limb (Tele-Cross Education or Tele-CE) or cognitive training and unilateral movements of the unaffected lower limb (Tele-control). Each participant will experience measures of brain and spinal activity and motor function testing before and after both sessions (Tele-CE and Tele-control). Each participant will also be asked to fill out a feedback questionnaire to assess acceptability after intervention sessions (Tele-CE and Tele-control).

  • Skull abnormalities or fractures
  • Concussion within the prior 6 months
  • Unexplained, recurring headaches
  • Implanted cardiac pacemaker
  • Metal implants in the head or face
  • History of seizures or epilepsy
  • Use of medications that could alter cortical excitability or increase risk of seizure (e.g., antidepressants, antipsychotics, anxiolytics, anticonvulsants)
  • Current pregnancy

PNS exclusion criteria

  • Skin hypersensitivity at any sites of stimulation, including the scalp, thoracolumbar spine, and peripheral limbs
  • History of contact dermatitis at any of the sites of stimulation
  • History of allodynia and/or hyperalgesia
  • Active skin infection
  • Skin lesions
  • Deep vein thrombosis
  • Any other skin or scalp condition that could be aggravated by stimulation
  • Implanted electronic, metallic, or highly conductive devices near site of stimulation that cannot be removed without permission from a health professional

Waffen und Interventionen

Teilnehmergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandlung
Experimental: Tele-Cross Education (Tele-CE)
While seated, participants will begin with 15 minutes of game-based ankle skill training of the unaffected lower limb. Participants will perform skilled dorsiflexion and plantarflexion movements of the unaffected ankle to play simple and engaging games. Three game blocks will be played (5 mins/block) with 1-minute rest between blocks. Following this, participants will engage in unaffected leg strength training using a theraband targeting hip flexors, hip abductors, hip adductors, knee flexors, knee extensors, and ankle plantarflexors. Participants will perform 3 sets of 10 repetitions for each muscle group.
Skilled dorsiflexion and plantarflexion movements of the unaffected ankle using a tablet-based system to play simple and engaging games.
Unilateral lower limb strength training of the unaffected leg using a theraband targeting hip flexors, hip abductors, hip adductors, knee flexors, knee extensors, and ankle plantarflexors.
Schein-Komparator: Tele-Control
While seated, participants will begin with 15 minutes of cognitive training using games focusing on memory and executive function. Participants will play three cognitive games (5 minutes each with 1-min rest between blocks). Following this, participants will engage in unilateral leg movements of the unaffected hip flexors, hip abductors, hip adductors, knee flexors, knee extensors, and ankle plantarflexors. Participants will perform 3 sets of 10 repetitions of movements for each muscle group.
Cognitive training using games focusing on memory and executive function along with unilateral leg movements of the unaffected hip flexors, hip abductors, hip adductors, knee flexors, knee extensors, and ankle plantarflexors.

Maßnahmenbeschreibung
Zeitfenster
Corticomotor excitability using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)
Zeitfenster: Changes will be calculated from baseline (pre) to immediately after the intervention (post).
Single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) will be used to assess the corticomotor excitability from the tibialis anterior muscle. Higher values indicate more corticomotor excitability.
Changes will be calculated from baseline (pre) to immediately after the intervention (post).
Transcallosal Inhibition using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)
Zeitfenster: Changes will be calculated from baseline (pre) to immediately after the intervention (post).
Inhibition from the stimulated hemisphere to the non-stimulated hemisphere will be quantified as a measure of the ipsilateral silent period (iSP) using single pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and motor evoked potentials (MEPs) will be recorded from the tibialis anterior muscle of the leg ipsilateral to TMS stimulation. Higher values indicate more inhibition from the stimulated hemisphere to the non-stimulated hemisphere.
Changes will be calculated from baseline (pre) to immediately after the intervention (post).
Cutaneous reflex excitability using peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS)
Zeitfenster: Changes will be calculated from baseline (pre) to immediately after the intervention (post).
Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) will be used to assess the cutaneous reflexes excitability from the deep peroneal nerve.
Changes will be calculated from baseline (pre) to immediately after the intervention (post).
Muscle Strength
Zeitfenster: Changes will be calculated from baseline (pre) to immediately after the intervention (post).
Muscle strength of the affected and unaffected hip flexors, hip abductors, hip adductors, knee flexors, knee extensors, ankle dorsiflexors and ankle plantarflexors will be measured using handheld dynamometry.
Changes will be calculated from baseline (pre) to immediately after the intervention (post).
