EMG-Controlled Game to Retrain Upper Extremity Muscle Activation Patterns Following Stroke
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 7 Oct 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The purpose of this study is to develop and test if upper limb task practice and muscle activity training improve upper limb function in stroke survivors. Participants will be asked to come to the laboratory 23 times (approximately 3 times a week) over 2.5 months to receive upper limb task practice, muscle activity training, and/or upper extremity functional assessments.

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Concurrent upper limb rehabilitation
- Change in spasticity medication or botulinum toxin injection in the upper limb within 3 months prior to or during enrollment
Other illness
- Comorbidity (e.g., orthopaedic or premorbid neurologic condition) that limit upper limb movement and/or participation in the intervention
- Language barrier or cognitive impairment that precludes providing consent
Other
- Inability to voluntarily contract muscles of at least 2 upper limb muscle groups, prohibiting participation in training
- Total sensory loss
