We are looking for adults who have had a stroke to participate in testing of a new robotic device for the hand. If you had a stroke over six months ago and now have difficulty using your hand, you may qualify to participate in this study. Time commitment: ~4 weeks, 3x/week, Compensation: $50 per testing visit, $25 per training session.
Stroke often results in limitation of arm movements, from which many people do not fully recover. We believe that early and intensive therapy is important to enhance recovery of arm movements after stroke. We are doing this research study to see how much arm movements improve with intensive therapy in patients have had a stroke in the past 5 weeks. We will…
