National Fully Remote Use of IpsiHand Device in Hemiparetic Stroke
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Stroke, Hemiparesis, Spasticity as Sequela of Stroke, Brain Computer Interface
In brief
The goal of this study is to define the efficacy of fully remote home-based BCI therapy in chronic hemiparetic subcortical stroke patients. A randomized controlled study using the integrated remote BCI system will be tested against standard exercise therapy to determine the efficacy of motor improvement in chronic stroke patients with an upper extremity hemiparesis. Specifically, the integrated BCI system will include 1) the remote screening and motor assessment system for the upper extremity and 2) the BCI-controlled robotic hand exoskeleton (i.e. IpsiHand).
