Summary

This trial tests a robotic arm brace for stroke survivors with weak arms. The brace detects muscle signals and helps move the arm, aiming to improve strength and coordination better than traditional therapy. The Armeo Spring exoskeleton robot has been used in previous studies to assist with arm rehabilitation in stroke patients.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Study objectives can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.

Primary study objectives

Change from baseline to after intervention and 3 months after intervention in the amount of active movement at each joint of the affected arm. This will be measured using the upper extremity section of the Fugl-Meyer Assessment.

Awards & Highlights

No Placebo-Only Group

All patients enrolled in this study will receive some form of active treatment.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Myomo + RTPExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

This group will be administered a regimen comprised of repetitive task specific practice (RTP) in conjunction with use of the robotic brace described elsewhere in this record.

Group II: MyomoActive Control1 Intervention

Patients in this group will only be administered the robotic brace described elsewhere in this record.

Group III: RTP onlyActive Control1 Intervention

Patients in this group will be administered repetitive task specific practice (RTP), emphasizing use of their affected arms during performance of valued, functional tasks.
