Increasing the Repertoire of Intermuscular Co-ordination Post Stroke Through EMG-Guided Human-Machine Interaction

NCT06523335 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 74

Summary

The purposes of this study include:

1. \- To identify whether features of aberrant intermuscular coordination patterns can be used to predict motor impairment after stroke.
2. \- To test whether muscle synergies are malleable to a non-invasive EMG-guided exercise that induces changes in intermuscular coordination of upper extremity muscles after stroke.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Neuromuscular coordination-guided rehabilitative training

During training exercise, post-stroke participants will be asked to match the targets on the screen. The experimental group will match them by activating a specific set of muscle. During assessment trials, a physical therapist or occupational therapist will rate the functional level of arm impairment using FMA and ARAT.

OTHER

Force strengthening-guided rehabilitative training

During training exercise, post-stroke participants will be asked to match the targets on the screen. The active comparator group will match them by generating isometric force in a desired target direction. During assessment trials, a physical therapist or occupational therapist will rate the functional level of arm impairment using FMA and ARAT.
