Robotic Rehabilitation for Stroke Survivors
State University of New York at Buffalo
Summary
Pilot study on the physiological response of robotic rehabilitation therapy for improving the performance of activities of daily living of stroke patients
Description
The purpose of this research is to study the feasibility of the robotic therapy that can train activities of daily living tasks for chronic stroke patients. The participant will be involved in a feasibility study (one-time visit) to prove the efficacy of the robotic device with different force feedback (assistive and resistive force) and other feedback such as VR (virtual reality). We will collect movement data from a motion capture system and sEMG sensors that measure muscle activity to monitor the effect of a robotic rehabilitation device, named Spherical Parallel Instrument for Daily Living…
Eligibility
- Age range
- 18+ years
- Sex
- All
- Healthy volunteers
- No
Inclusion Criteria: * Adults with chronic stroke, which affected their upper limb motor functions * Adults could able to understand the verbal cues during the training Exclusion Criteria: * Adults with chronic stroke, who did not lose their upper limb motor functions
Interventions
- DeviceEmulation of Active Daily Living tasks with a robotic device (SPINDLE)
SPINDLE will provide an assistive and resistive force to aid in rehabilitating the subject's upper limb
