Early Independent Adaptive Arm and Hand Rehab
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Post-stroke Hemiparesis
In brief
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that early independent adaptive bimanual-to-unimanual training of arm and hand movements, assisted with specially designed mechanical devices: the mirrored motion bimanual arm trainer (m2 BAT), will improve motor control and function in patients with post-stroke hemiparesis.
