Effects of Vibration on Motor Function of Survivors of Chronic Stroke
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Device
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
The aim of this study is to evaluate how vibration of the tendons enhances arm and hand training in survivors of chronic stroke. The investigators hypothesize that wrist/elbow robotic training, combined with body awareness training will improve arm and hand function in individuals with chronic stroke.

Participants
Target number of participants: 40
Treatments
Experimental: Stroke Intervention
In this arm, the participant will be scheduled to come to the laboratory 2-4 times per week and spend 30 minutes using the Assisted Motion with Enhanced Sensation (AMES) treatment device on the affected side of the upper limb.
Active_comparator: Uninjured Control Intervention
In this arm the uninjured controls will perform the same interventions as the stroke group. The uninjured control group will perform the tests and interventions with their dominant arm/hand.
