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 volunteers

Qualifiers

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

Design model

Case-only

Time perspective

Cross-sectional

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Emulation of Active Daily Living tasks with a robotic device (SPINDLE)

    Device

    SPINDLE will provide an assistive and resistive force to aid in rehabilitating the subject's upper limb

Treatment groups

40 Participants
are divided into 1 treatment group
Group A: Participant with Chronic stroke1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Kinematic change of the upper limb during ADLs

The max and range of motion of shoulder, elbow, and wrist joint for each task

Time frame
immediately after the intervention
2

Score of activities of daily living(ADL) tasks

We will use ARM-ULA standard score sheet to measure the performance of ADLs

Time frame
immediately after the intervention
3

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.

Time frame
immediately after the intervention

Secondary outcomes

1

Usability measure

Questionnaire will be provided to the user to obtain qualitative feedback

Time frame
immediately after the intervention
