Neuromodulation Combined With Dual FES Cycling and Cognitive Training After Stroke
Exploratory Evaluation of Neuromodulation Combined With Dual Functional Electrical Stimulation Cycling and Cognitive Task Training on Cognitive-Motor Performance in Individuals After Stroke
This study will evaluate the effects of functional electrical stimulation (FES) cycling, cognitive task training, and non-invasive photobiomodulation on cognitive and upper-limb motor performance in adults after stroke. The study includes three stages to identify favorable FES cycling and neuromodulation approaches and to evaluate their combined effects. Participants will complete 10 intervention sessions over 2 weeks. Cognitive and motor outcomes will be assessed before treatment, immediately after treatment, and at 3-month follow-up. Feasibility, tolerance, and adverse events will also be evaluated.

Yksityiskohtainen kuvaus
This is a three-stage, randomized, sham-controlled study in individuals after stroke. Stage 1 will compare FES cycling alone, FES cycling combined with cognitive task training, and sham FES cycling. Stage 2 will compare photobiomodulation applied to the ear, forehead, and sham stimulation. Stage 3 will evaluate the selected FES cycling and neuromodulation approaches alone and in combination. Participants will complete 10 sessions over 2 weeks. Cognitive, upper-extremity motor, functional, participation, and quality-of-life outcomes will be assessed at baseline, immediately after treatment, and at 3-month follow-up. Feasibility, adherence, tolerance, and adverse events will also be monitored.
