Vibrotactile Stimulation for Upper-Extremity Stroke Rehabilitation

Vibrotactile Stimulation for Neurological Disorders

• Status: Recruiting
• Phase: Phase 1
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 24 (estimated)
• Sponsor: University of Colorado, Denver · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 50 Years – 70 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate upper-extremity vibrotactile stimulation with wearables in stroke patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: Are the wearables well-tolerated by patients? Does the vibrotactile stimulation help regain arm function? Participants will wear vibrotactile stimulation gloves and shirts for 5 hours daily during their stay at the rehabilitation unit, in addition to conventional therapy. Researchers will compare the treatment group (vibrotactile stimulation wearables) with a control group (conventional therapy only) to see the effects of the vibrotactile stimulation.
