Summary

This interventional study will measure motor performance, including 3D movement analysis and muscle activity, in response to exoskeleton assistance. The cohort design will compare stroke patients to healthy controls. Data collection will be conducted in a single, 2-hour session. Investigators will also access stroke patients' brain MRIs that were obtained as standard of care during acute admission for stroke.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Oculus Rift headset

The Oculus Rift is a commercially-available virtual reality (VR) headset. It is used to present the visual environment in which participants perform the reaching task.

DEVICE

Exoskeleton Device

The exoskeleton was designed and constructed to provide either gravity assistance or gravity resistance. It applies a torque to both shoulders. Torque values do not exceed 50% of the torque due to gravity. The device is mounted to a testing chair and attached to the participant using Velcro straps.
