Summary

The purpose of this research study is to compare different methods for training hand movement at home after stroke. This study involves research because it will test two experimental devices, the MusicGlove and the Resonating Arm Exerciser (RAE), compared to conventional hand and arm exercises. The MusicGlove is a glove that measures finger movements and allows its user to play a musical computer game using those movements. The RAE is a lever that attaches to a manual wheelchair with elastic bands and can be pushed back and forth to exercise the arm.

Conditions

  • Cerebrovascular Accident

Interventions

OTHER

Conventional hand exercise

Conventional hand exercise consists of passive and active range of motion exercise, and simple coordination exercises with the fingers

DEVICE

MusicGlove

The MusicGlove is a glove that detects different grip types. Subjects play a musical game by completing different grips.

OTHER

Conventional Arm Exercise

Conventional arm exercise consists of passive and active range of motion exercise, and simple weight bearing exercises

DEVICE

Resonating Arm Exerciser

The RAE is a lever that attaches to a manual wheelchair with elastic bands and can be pushed back and forth to exercise the arm.
