Summary

Researchers aim to determine whether the ReTrieve system for tactile training can improve tactile function (sense of touch) in the hand after brain injury when used at home for 6 weeks.

Detailed description

All participants who have been found eligible for this study and given informed consent will be randomized into two groups- either participants will begin ReTrieve training immediately following an initial assessment, or wait 8 weeks before beginning training. During the study, participants will have a ReTrieve tactile training system delivered home for use over 6 weeks. Investigators will take three days to teach participants how to use the system. Each week for the remainder of the 6 weeks, participants will use this system for 4+ days per week on their own, and for 1 day supervised. During each supervised day, participants will complete approximately 1 hour of training while supervised over video chat with researchers. Participants' tactile function will be assessed at three separate time points: once within one week before beginning training, once within one week after completing training, as well as once either 8 weeks before or 8 weeks after the training. This assessment has a required survey component, as well as an optional in-person clinical assessment component.
