This study, called IsoReach, is exploring a new way to train movement using a robotic arm and virtual reality. Researchers want to see if practicing "Isometric Reaching" – where your hand stays in place but you use force to move a virtual arm – can help both healthy people and those who have had a stroke. You would practice reaching tasks in a 3D virtual world. The main goal is to see if the errors you make during this isometric training are similar to errors made during regular, unconstrained reaching. This could help us understand how to improve movement skills. We are looking for 56 participants who are at least 18 years old and have not had a stroke. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.

Study design

This interventional study plans to enroll 56 participants. It will compare movement errors in unconstrained and constrained (isometric) conditions.

What's involved

You would practice a virtual reality reaching task using a robotic arm. The study measures your perpendicular error through study completion, an average of 1 year.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Participants will be followed through study completion, which is an average of 1 year.
