MyHand 2: An Active Hand Orthosis for Stroke Patients
This study is testing the MyHand device, an active hand orthosis (a brace or support for your hand), for people who have had a stroke and experience hand weakness. The goal is to make the MyHand device easier to use and more effective at improving hand function. Researchers want to improve how you control the device, help you grasp more types of objects, and make it simpler to put on and take off. Success in this study will be measured by how usable and helpful the device is, based on a questionnaire score. You may be able to join if you are an adult over 18 who has had a stroke at least six months ago, have hand weakness, full passive range of motion in your fingers, and can follow directions. The study plans to enroll 60 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific intervention (the MyHand device). It aims to enroll 60 participants.
- What's involved
- You may be asked to attend 1 to 40 sessions, each lasting about 90 minutes, to try different device controls and components.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your device usability and utility will be measured for up to 1 year at study completion.

What this trial measures
- Device Usability and Utility Questionnaire ScoreUp to 1 year at study completion
Subjects will provide feedback about their perceptions of the device's usability and utility for post-stroke upper extremity recovery. Four questions will be rated on a 5-point Likert scale (1) strongly agree to (5) strongly disagree. Five questions will be rated on a 5-point reverse Likert scale (1) strongly disagree to (5) strongly agree. The 9 question survey has a score range of 9-45 with higher scores indicating higher levels of device usability and utility.
