Summary

This project aims at gaining insight into the role of sleep in motor learning and the first to apply sleep related learning methods in a rehabilitative setting. The primary objective is to investigate whether there is an effect of acoustic cueing during slow wave sleep on a specific motor task. The second objective is to investigate whether this effect can also be transferred to generalized motor rehabilitation outcome. Patients with an impairment of the arm function are randomized to either receiving the intervention ("cueing group") or to the control group. The patients are all listening to a melody during motor training but only the patients of the cueing group are also exposed to the melody during subsequent slow wave sleep. Performance gain is measured using an instrumented arm orthosis which is used for functional arm therapy over the sudy period of 5 consecutive days as well as during standard clinical assessments.
