Wrist-worn Sensors for Tele-Rehabilitation of the Hemiparetic Upper Extremity

NCT03431025 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 60

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Stroke and other causes of central nervous system damage can result in debilitating loss of motor control that is often more pronounced in one limb than the other. Using or attempting to use the affected limb during activities of daily living, despite considerable difficulty, stimulates neuroplasticity and motor function recovery. The investigators are conducting a clinical study to test the efficacy of wrist-worn sensors that encourage affected limb use during activities of daily living.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Wearable sensors and biofeedback

Participants in the Experimental Arm will wear sensors to monitor their upper limb movement and will receive feedback from these sensors to encourage usage of the impaired limb during activities of daily living.
