Research Sponsored by Arizona State University
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Be older than 18 years old
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up change in emg onset from baseline (before training on day 1) to post (after training on day 3)

Summary

This trial tests if using a loud sound during physical therapy can help stroke survivors improve arm function. It targets stroke patients with arm impairments, especially those who struggle with traditional rehab. The sound helps 'wake up' the brain, making therapy more effective.

Eligible Conditions
  • Stroke

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: START (Startle Adjuvant Rehabilitation Therapy)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants in this group practice a functional reaching task with the START condition (startling acoustic stimuli applied during 33% of trials).
Group II: ControlPlacebo Group1 Intervention
Participants in this group will practice a functional reaching task without the START (Startle Adjuvant Rehabilitation Therapy) intervention
