Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Who the study is looking for
- The recruited subjects will
- have unilateral ischemic brain injury or intracerebral hemorrhage at least 6 months after the onset of single stroke
- have moderate level of motor impairment in the affected upper limb, assessed by Fugl-Meyer Assessment (9\<shoulder/elbow\<27; 6\<wrist/hand\<18)
- have enough cognition to be able to follow the training protocol as assessed by Mini-metal State Examination (MMSE\>21)
- have detectable EMG signals (3 times of the standard deviation above the baseline) from the upper limb muscles.
Age in the registry: 18 years to 70 years · Sex: All · Does not accept healthy volunteers
