Interface Pressures, Safety, Adherence, and Tactile Outcomes of Different Pressure Garments After Stroke
33 participantsStarted 2026-07-20
Plain-language summary
This study aims to investigate the interface pressure changes of single-layer with 10% circumferential reduction (S-10), single-layer with 15% circumferential reduction (S-15), and dorsal double-layered with 10% circumferential reduction (DD-10)pressure garments over time, their relationships with adherence and adverse events, and their effects on tactile gnosis.
Participants will:
1. Wear S-10, S-15, or DD-10 for at least 12 hours daily for four weeks
2. Measure interface pressure at baseline and weekly
3. Assess tactile gnosis at baseline, Week 2, and Week 4
4. Record adherence and adverse events using a self-report logbook

* Modified Ashworth Scale of 1, 1+ or 2 when hand performing flexion and extension
* no cognitive impairment (Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA ⩾ 21)
Exclusion Criteria:

* hypersensitive to Lycra materials
* behavioural disturbances or motor impairments caused by other orthopaedic or neurological conditions other than stroke
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
