Robot-Aided Diagnosis, Passive-Active Arm Motor and Sensory Rehabilitation Post Stroke: Aims 2&3
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
Sensorimotor impairments following stroke often involve complex pathological changes across multiple joints and multiple degrees of freedom of the arm and hand, thereby rendering them difficult to diagnose and treat. The objective of this study is to evaluate multi-joint neuromechanical impairments in the arm and hand, then conduct impairment-specific treatment, and determine the effects of arm versus hand training and the effects of passive stretching before active movement training.

Treatments
Experimental: IntelliArm with passive stretching
Groups are split into 2 conditions based on stretching and 2 conditions based on target of intervention (arm or hand). Subjects will complete up to 30 minutes of strong passive stretching, then followed by 45-60 minutes of active movement training with the IntelliArm.
Experimental: IntelliArm with passive movement
Groups are split into 2 conditions based on stretching and 2 conditions based on target of intervention (arm or hand). Subjects will wear the IntelliArm for up to 30 minutes with gentle passive movement or little stretching, then followed by 45-60 minutes of active movement training with the IntelliArm.
Experimental: The hand robot with passive stretching
Groups are split into 2 conditions based on stretching and 2 conditions based on target of intervention (arm or hand). Subjects will complete up to 30 minutes of strong passive stretching, then followed by 45-60 minutes of active movement training with the hand robot.
