Trial design

Primary purpose: Treatment

Allocation: Randomized

Interventional model: Parallel Assignment

Masking: Quadruple Blind

---

23 participants in 2 patient groups, including a placebo group

Stimulation

Experimental group

Description:

During motor training participants in the stimulation arm receive vitro-tactile feedback applied to the feet when touching an object as measured by force-sensing resistors mounted to the sole of the feet.

Treatment:

Device: Vibro-tactile stimulation

Control

Placebo Comparator group

Description:

The control group receives the same motor training with the same derives (force-sensing resistors, vibro-tactile stimulators) mounted to the feet but receives no stimulation.

Treatment:

Other: Placebo Control
