Proprioception Testing in Persons With Sensorimotor Impairment
Stopped early · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Spinal Cord Injury, Stroke, Acquired Brain Injury
In brief
In this study, an FDA-cleared device and type of treatment called "AMES," which stands for Assisted Movement with Enhanced Sensation, will be used to determine whether sensation in the upper limb of individuals with incomplete spinal cord injuries, acquired brain injury, or stroke improves along with movement through treatment. We hypothesize that measureable improvement in the sensation of the upper limb will precede improvement in functional movement.
