Using EMG of the Healthy Hand to Control TENS of the Affected Hand in Hemiparetic Patients

NCT03146559 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 14

Last updated 2017-08-25

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate learning transfer from the healthy hand to the paretic hand in stroke patients. EMG signals from the healthy hand - while performing wrist dorsi flexion movement - will be used to activate electric muscles stimulation of the dorsi flexors of the paretic hand.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

EMG and TENS

Healthy hand EMG signal measured while making voluntarily wrist dorsi flexion will activate TENS, which will be placed on the paretic forearm and will produce wrist dorsi flexion.

DEVICE

TENS only

Automatic TENS stimuli to the paretic dorsi flexors (i.e., producing wrist dorsi flexion).
