Summary

The research team will develop a novel training tool to improve finger joint coordination, to address the unmet need in the current rehabilitation, thereby enhancing hand function and contributing to improved independence and quality of life for Veterans with stroke.

Detailed description

The research team will determine feasibility of training using CA and TA controllers in subacute stroke. Specifically, we will examine if joint coordination improves over a training session. The investigators will compare the extent of improvement for each controller and impairment severity.

Conditions

• Stroke
