About this trial
Pilot study on the physiological response of robotic rehabilitation therapy for improving the performance of activities of daily living of stroke patients
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Adults with chronic stroke, which affected their upper limb motor functions
Adults could able to understand the verbal cues during the training
Disqualifiers
Adults with chronic stroke, who did not lose their upper limb motor functions
Trial population
The study participant needs to have minimal strength to move the robot. The participant needs to be able to understand the instructions during the experiment.
Trial design
Case-only
Cross-sectional
Treatments tested in this trial
Emulation of Active Daily Living tasks with a robotic device (SPINDLE)
DeviceSPINDLE will provide an assistive and resistive force to aid in rehabilitating the subject's upper limb
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Kinematic change of the upper limb during ADLs
The max and range of motion of shoulder, elbow, and wrist joint for each task
Score of activities of daily living(ADL) tasks
We will use ARM-ULA standard score sheet to measure the performance of ADLs
Muscle activation change of the upper limb during ADLs
The subject will be asked to perform activities of daily living tasks with the passive SPINDLE. Upper limb range of motion and muscle activation will be quantified.
Secondary outcomes
Usability measure
Questionnaire will be provided to the user to obtain qualitative feedback
