An Interactive Computer Game, Called Duck Duck Punch, for Stroke Rehabilitation at Home and in a Rehabilitation Clinic
Completed · Phase 1/Phase 2
Conditions studied: Stroke
In brief
This study will determine the feasibility of using an interactive computer game to elicit repetitive practice of paretic arm movements in the homes of community dwelling stroke survivors and during non-therapy hours at an inpatient stroke rehabilitation hospital.

Who can join
Age: 21 and older, up to 90. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.
You may qualify if…
- experienced uni-hemispheric ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke
- exhibit voluntarily shoulder flexion (affected UE) ≥20° with simultaneous elbow extension ≥10°. We reason that persons at this motor ability level have enough residual arm activation to engage in VE training
- passive range of motion in affected shoulder and elbow and within 20 degrees of normal values
- Additional inclusion criteria for community dwelling stroke survivors
- live at home
- no current rehabilitation therapy
- live within a 60 minute drive of the university
- Additional inclusion criteria for inpatient stroke patients
- medically stable
- expected to remain in the hospital for the next 7 days
- able to sit in a chair for 60 minutes without difficulty
You may not qualify if…
- lesion in brainstem or cerebellum
- presence of other neurological disease that may impair motor skills (e.g., Parkinson's Disease)
- pain in the paretic arm that would interfere with movement
- unable to understand and follow 3-step directions
- orthopedic condition or impaired corrected vision that would interfere with reaching.
