Potential Effects of Novel Sensorimotor Upper Limb Rehabilitation Paradigm

Summary

Sensorimotor function of the upper limb is often impaired after stroke, even in the chronic phase (minimum 6 months after stroke). Currently, an optimal intervention combining both motor and sensory function, with focus on sensory processing (one of the most important sensory functions), does not exists. However, the research team has developed a novel therapy paradigm combining robot-based training, a transfer package to daily life activities, and a home program. As a first step, the investigators will examine the feasibility and potential benefits of this novel therapy approach within this pilot study by recruiting 10 persons with chronic stroke. The investigators hypothesize that this therapy approach is feasible and potentially effective in chronic stroke.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

ROBUST

During a 4-week intervention, participants get 48 hours additional sensorimotor upper limb training. They will come 3 times per week to Leuven for a therapy session of two hours. During these therapy sessions, they receive one hour robot-based therapy and one hour transfer package training with a therapist. Additionally, they follow 6 times a week a 1-hour home program. This intervention can be distinguished from others since it integrates both motor and sensory function, with focus on sensory processing. It combines robot-based therapy, a transfer package to daily activities, and a home program.
