Summary

The purpose of this study is to quantify the improvement of post- stroke individuals' ability to move their arms during and after robot assisted therapy.

While researchers know that robot assisted therapies improve motor performance over the course of weeks, they do not know how motor performance is affected over the course of minutes or hours. A better understanding of how robot assisted therapies affect motor performance on short time scales may help us to prescribe more effective therapy doses to maximize motor recovery after neurological injury.

The study will allow us to obtain a detailed understanding of the performance of the device as described above.

Conditions

  • Arm Weakness as a Consequence of Stroke

Interventions

DEVICE

Compliant Passive Arm Support

The device is a mechanical device that consists of two linkages, elastic bands, a commercial posture brace, and a hook-and-loop fastener. The design of the device, with several compliant elements, ensures that one device fits many without joint alignment concerns. No motors or other actuators add energy into the system, meaning that it is stable.
