Passive Robots for Stroke Rehabilitation
The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility and effectiveness of a novel, multimodal approach that combines passive devices with noninvasive neuromuscular stimulation for upper extremity rehabilitation after stroke.
Inclusion: Age 18 to 75 years; Ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke confirmed by CT, MRI, or clinical criteria; No major deficits of sensation or proprioception.
Exclusion: Have metal implants in the skull; Bilateral stroke; Uncontrolled Diabetes or Hypertension; Any other medical condition that will significantly impact the study results; Have a recent history of repeated fainting spells or syncope; Have a recent history of seizure (epilepsy) while on anti-seizure medication; Have a recent history of skull fracture/head injury; Have cardiac pacemakers; Unable to think clearly and remember (Mini-Mental State Exam score < 22 and miniMOCA < 8); Severe limitations of joint range of motion that will lead to inability of testing; Severe spasticity and joint contractures that will lead to inability of testing; Complete paresis with no possible movements; Severe aphasia; Unable to obtain reliable motor evoked potentials; Are pregnant or are actively trying to conceive.
