Exoskeleton Research: Myoelectric Orthosis for Rehab of Severe Chronic Arm Motor Deficits
{ "Exoskeleton Research: Myoelectric Orthosis for Rehab of Severe Chronic Arm Motor Deficits", "This study is looking at new ways to help people who have severe arm weakness due to a stroke that happened at least six months ago. It's testing if combining a special device called MyoPro with motor learning-based therapy works better than therapy alone. The MyoPro is a wearable device that uses signals from your weak arm muscles (electromyographic or EMG signals) to help you move your arm. You might be able to join if you are 18-89 years old, have arm weakness from a stroke, and can move your shoulder a certain amount. The study will measure success by looking at changes in your arm function using a score called the Fugl Meyer for Upper Limb (FM) over 24 weeks. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 60 participants.", "design": "This is an interventional study that plans to enroll 60 participants. It is a randomized controlled trial, meaning participants will be assigned by chance to receive either MyoPro with therapy or therapy alone.", "commitments": "You would participate in motor learning-based therapy, which includes functional task training and a home exercise program. The study will measure your arm function at weeks 1, 4, 9, 18, and 24.", "compensation": "Not stated in the trial record.", "follow_up": "Your arm function will be measured for up to 24 weeks after starting the intervention.", }

What this trial measures
- Fugl Meyer for Upper Limb (FM) changeweeks 1, 4, 9, 18 and 24
Thirty-three items of movement coordination and reflex activity are scored with a 3-point Likert scale (0-66 points) where higher scores represent better arm function.
