A contracture is often treated by therapists who use hand splinting to prevent it occurring or slow down its progression. Despite their wide use, there has not been research completed to investigate whether or not splinting prevents contracture in people following stroke. In fact, this project will be the first of its kind in the world and is therefore vital to stroke rehabilitation.\n\nThe study is a multi-centre, randomised controlled trial that will measure the effect of hand-splinting in two positions on the prevention of contracture, functional use of the hand, and quality of life.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* first ever stroke\n* score of \\<1 on Motor Assessment Scale item 6\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* comorbidity resulting in previous contracture of the wrist/hand'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT00286702', 'briefTitle': 'Does Splinting Prevent Contractures Following Stroke?', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University of Western Sydney'}, 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'HEC 01/166'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'interventions': [{'name': 'hand splint', 'type': 'DEVICE'}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Natasha Lannin, BSc(OT)', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'University of Western Sydney'}, {'name': 'Anne Cusick, PhD', 'role': 'STUDY_CHAIR', 'affiliation': 'University of Western Sydney'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'University of Western Sydney', 'class': 'OTHER'}}}}
