About this trial
The goal of this study is to determine the effects of lab and home-based technology guidance during movement training post-stroke. The study will compare movement training informed by lab-based technology to training delivered with technology at home. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* How well do lab and home-based technologies help individuals post-stroke improve their movement patterns? * Is there a difference in improvement between the in-lab and at-home training groups? * Which technologies lead to the most improvement?
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age between 30-85 years.
Diagnosis of stroke.
Stroke onset of at least six months prior to the time of participation.
Fugl Meyer Upper Extremity between 30-50 (mild-moderate)
Disqualifiers
Presence of severe aphasia preventing the ability to follow 1-step directions at least 80% of the time.
Excessive spasticity of the wrist, elbow, and shoulder, defined as a Modified Ashworth Score >2.
Diagnosis of neurological disorders other than stroke.
Orthopedic/musculoskeletal conditions (e.g., severe arthritis) affecting the upper extremity.
Trial design
Design model
Parallel
Treatments tested in this trial
Lab-based movement guidance
Other interventionParticipants will receive computer-generated guidance on how to perform different activities of daily living efficiently. The guidance will be delivered using lab-based sensing and feedback technology.
Home-based movement guidance
Other interventionParticipants will receive computer-generated guidance on how to perform different activities of daily living efficiently. This guidance will be delivered using home-based technologies, such as a computer or tablet.
Treatment groups
60 Participants
