Use of Sensory Substitution to Improve Arm Control After Stroke

NCT03298243 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

Last updated 2025-09-29

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Supplementing or augmenting sensory information to those who have lost proprioception after stroke could help improve functional control of the arm. Thirty subjects will be recruited to a single site to evaluate the ability of supplemental kinesthetic feedback (a form of vibrotactile stimulation) to improve motor function. Participants will be tested in performing reaching movements as well as more functional tasks such as simulated drinking from a glass

Conditions

  • Stroke
  • Proprioceptive Disorders

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Vibrotactile stimulation

Non-invasive, computer-controlled miniature tendon vibrators, similar to those used in off-the-shelf activity monitors.
