Summary

PURPOSE. After stroke many patients are unable to engage in normal upper limb functional activities, which may restrict them from participation in meaningful life roles. For many, conventional rehabilitation does not restore upper limb function to a useful level. The purpose of this research is to investigate the benefits of three promising motor learning interventions: focused intensive, motor learning (FIML); 2) robotics and motor learning (ROB-ML); and 3) functional neuromuscular stimulation and motor learning (FNS-ML).

Conditions

• Cerebrovascular Accident

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Motor Learning	training of the hemiplegic upper limb with motor learning
OTHER	Robotics	subjects perform training of hemiplegic arm using an upper extremity robot
OTHER	surface FES	subjects are provided with surface FES to the hemiplegic upper limb
