Robot Therapy for Rehabilitation of Hand Movement After Stroke

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Stroke, Movement Disorders, Hemiparesis

In brief

A study will be performed where individuals with chronic stroke will be randomly assigned to receive 2 different dosages of robotic hand therapy. One group will receive 12 sessions of robot-assisted repetitive movement practice in the HEXORR robot over a 4-5 week period. A second group will receive 24 sessions of HEXORR therapy over a 8-10 week period.
