This is a randomized, cross-over, multi-center, intention-to-treat, open-label study to assess the impact of the SAM Ergonom light (SAM) device on independence when transferring from the supine to the sitting position at the edge of the bed in a population of individuals with an inability to transfer independently from the supine to the sitting position in bed, compared with the use of a raising arm.

The goal of this non-interventional study is to identify patients who respond to platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections for chronic lateral epicondylalgia (tennis elbow) and to investigate factors associated with treatment response. The study will include approximately 139 adults (18 years and older) with chronic lateral elbow pain who received a PRP injection within the last 48 hours. The main question it aims to answer is: How many patients respond to PRP treatment for chronic lateral epicondylalgia at 90 days after injection? Secondary questions include: Which clinical, demographic, and occupational factors are associated with response to PRP? Can a predictive model be developed to identify patients likely to respond to PRP? How do pain, hand grip strength, and functional outcomes evolve over 90 days in responders versus non-responders? Participants will: Attend three visits at baseline (Day 0), Day 45, and Day 90. Undergo clinical examinations, pain assessments (EVA, DN4), functional tests (hand grip, PRTEE), and questionnaires. Have data on professional activities, medical history, and treatments collected. All procedures are part of routine care, except for the addition of the Clinical Global Impression - Change (CGI-C) scale at Day 45 and Day 90 to assess treatment response. The study will be conducted at the CMRRF de Kerpape and the CHU de Rennes in France. Each participant will be followed for approximately 3 months.

The AutonHome® clinical investigation, proposed by Dr Charles FATTAL (coordinator of this study), and carried out by the Association Approche (delegated promoter), aims to use the AutonHome® selfeducation device for the rehabilitation of patients who have suffered a Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA), and thus respond to the problems of therapeutic discontinuity highlighted today. Neuradom's AutonHome® device combines self-education and telecare. This device makes it possible to carry out personalised self-education programmes supervised by the therapist, enabling the therapeutic link with the patient to be maintained without the need for the patient to travel. This tool has already proved its usability and perceived usefulness in a previous clinical study, which demonstrated the feasibility of a self-education programme for hemiplegic patients, based on feedback. AutonHome® was considered by users to be a relevant, useful and safe complement to conventional rehabilitation. On the basis of this feasibility study, the investigators wished to develop a second study around this AutonHome® device. In this second clinical investigation, in addition to perceived usefulness, the main objective is to demonstrate, in a population of stroke victims, that an experimental care pathway combining supervised self-education via AutonHome® with conventional re-education optimises the care pathway in terms of sensory-motor recovery, but also in terms of reduced length of stay and functional and medico-economic added value. This clinical trial involves two parallel arms. Participants will be randomised into a control group, undergoing conventional in-centre rehabilitation, or into an experimental group, with self-rehabilitation and tele-rehabilitation in addition to conventional rehabilitation. The AutonHome study is a pilot study, with the aim of including 40 participants. Each centre will recruit 10 participants on a 1:1 randomisation basis, with 5 in the experimental group and 5 in the control group. Participants will be monitored for 15 weeks. This clinical investigation is multicentre, with 4 centres involved: the Centre Bouffard Vercelli (66962, Perpignan), the CMRRF de Kerpape (56275 Ploemeur), the association Saint-Hélier (35043, Rennes), and the Fondation ILDYS (29684 Roscoff).

The aim is to study another alternative for the treatment of pain in people with CRPS. Indeed, the TRAB / Medullary occupational therapy department of the CMRRF in Kerpape used compression garments to reduce edema when it was present.In the case of CRPS of the upper limbs, gloves or compression sleeves are used to decrease the edema which is sometimes associated, although they are not supported for this indication. In this context, our clinical experience leads us to believe that there would also be some efficacy in neuropathic pain, this improvement being regularly described by patients.This study is expected to show a notable reduction in neuropathic pain thanks to the wearing of a compression garment.

This impact study of upper limb (UL) assistance devices is part of the Exploratory PEPR O2R "Robotic assistance for human movements." The integrated project PI3 "ASSISTMOV," composed of a multidisciplinary team in engineering and Human and Social Sciences (HSS), targets the use case of employing robotic assistance for the movement of persons with disabilities (PWD). Through the development of a range of exoskeletons (lower and upper limbs), this project aims for a breakthrough technology enabling fluid and robust interaction with a variety of environments and uses (from rehabilitation to daily life). The proposed study contributes to this objective by exploring the clinical and psychosocial dimensions of the daily use of UL assistance devices. Through interviews and questionnaires, it aims to collect data on their impact in terms of independence in activities of daily living (ADL), satisfaction, quality of life, social participation, as well as social perceptions related to the use of these technical aids. It will make it possible to document the benefits and limitations of existing devices from the users' point of view (patients and informal and/or professional caregivers), by identifying the factors that facilitate or hinder their adoption and by exploring the care pathway, from prescription to daily use. The questionnaires will also allow examination of economic dimensions. The participants included in this study will be recruited among users already using, in their daily life, an UL movement assistance device. All will be regular users of their device, functionally integrated into their usual environment for at least two months. Only devices benefiting from CE marking, guaranteeing their compliance with European regulations, will be eligible. No equipment will be specifically provided within the framework of this research: each participant will share their experience with their own device, as it is integrated into their ADL. A preliminary literature review helped identify the main categories of UL movement assistance devices, grouped according to the following typologies: grasping gloves, mealtime aids, robotic manipulation arms, and arm supports (electric or mechanical). The purpose of the approach is both diagnostic and forward-looking. It is diagnostic in that it makes it possible to analyze current practices, real activity, and users' viewpoints, in order to identify elements likely to be improved in the recommendation and use of the devices. It is also forward-looking, since it aims to identify new opportunities, needs, or potential developments, in order to support the thinking of roboticists based on field observations.

The double amputation of the forearms is a rare handicap that seriously impacts the autonomy and the quality of life of patients, social and familial exclusion, and dependence on third parties for everyday activities. The management of these patients is nearly exclusively through the use of prostheses. Certain patients refuse this solution, or remain penalized by the absence of sensitivity , the lack of precision in movements, and body image issues related to the amputation; the double graft of hands and forearms may, in this circumstance, be the only solution. Since January 2000, date of the first double hand graft, six bilateral grafts of hands have been performed at the Hospices Civils de Lyon. This first study reported the feasibility of the graft. The functional results obtained after the double transplant have allowed patients to recover complete autonomy for everyday activities, at the price of an immunosuppressive treatment. We have found that these very good functional results are maintained over time and, for a certain number of patients, to return to work which is a factor of social integration. The rate of medical complications (metabolic, infectious, oncological), essentially related to the immunosuppressive treatment, is not greater to that found for other types of graft, but are considered as a limiting factor for the development of this strategy. These results are confirmed by international experience that is of the same order. Only a few rare cases of re-amputation have been reported in patients for whom the immunosuppressive treatment was discontinued or following vascular thrombosis. A new study is required to continue this evaluation and to compare double graft to prostheses in terms costs, quality of life, usefulness, satisfaction, autonomy, and social integration. The results of this study will allow the placement of these strategies in the management of patients with double amputation of the hands and forearms.

Patients with cerebrovascular accident (CVA) may present with a deficit of awareness of the disorders which results in a lack of correct self-estimation of their own abilities and difficulties in terms of both cognition and driving. It is therefore important to develop tools to help professionals take this deficit into account in their driving assessments and also to help patients better identify their real abilities. This research project thus proposes a protocol making it possible to promote decision-making whether or not to resume driving by multidisciplinary teams. The main objective is to determine to what extent video feedback promotes awareness of the ability to manage post-stroke patients, compared to a group of control patients receiving the usual recommendations.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common cause of child disability. Nearly 40% of PC children suffer from sleep disorders, which are not routinely screened. The neuro-cognitive, physical and environmental morbidity of sleep disorders should require their diagnosis and management. Limited access to the reference exam (polysomnography or PSG) delays the diagnosis and only allows screening of these disorders for a limited number of PC children. The hypothesis of our study is that connected technologies could optimize screening for sleep disorders in PC children by selecting children requiring PSG exploration and specific management.
