Summary

Stroke is the first cause of disability worldwide. The motor impairment of the hand is one of the most common sequelae in patients after stroke. Indeed, approximately 60% of patients with diagnosis of stroke suffers from hand sensorimotor impairment. In the last years, new approaches in neurorehabilitation field has been permitted to enhance hand motor recovery. Wearable devices permit to apply sensors to the patient's body for monitoring the kinematic and dynamic characteristics of patient's motion. Moreover, wearable sensors combined with electrodes detecting muscle activation (i.e. surface electromyography - sEMG) permit to provide biofeedback to the patient to improve motor recovery.

Interventions

DEVICE

REMO®

The patients receive daily 1 hour of conventional therapy and 1 hour of treatment of REMO®, that is a wearable composed by 8 bipolar electrodes able to detect the surface electromyography of the forearm muscles. REMO® allows the control of a computer interface using the surface electromyography to execute sEMG-biofeedback exercises for hand rehabilitation. The movements required for hand rehabilitation are the following: thumb abduction, pinch, finger flexion, finger extension, wrist flexion, wrist extension, forearm pronation, forearm supination, radial wrist deviation and ulnar wrist deviation. The treatment consists in 15 sessions, 1hour/day, for 5 days/week, for 3 weeks. The patients are clinically evaluated before and after the REMO® treatment.
