No results posted yet for this study

Summary

To determine whether treatment with transauricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) during the training of an affected upper limb of a patient with chronic stroke on a robotic motor task alters the motor impairment.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

In Motion Rehabilitation Robot

Patients will wear the taVNS device on the left ear for the duration of the subsequent phase of the robotic training. During this phase the patient will engage the robotic device with the affected limb and complete the protocol and the stimulation or sham stimulation will occur with every extensor movement.
