Motor Relearning and Sensory Rehabilitation for Stroke
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This project will develop a wearable rehabilitation robot suitable for in-bed acute stage rehabilitation. It involves robot-guided motor relearning, passive and active motor-sensory rehabilitation early in the acute stage post-stroke including patients who are paralyzed with no motor output. The early acute stroke rehabilitation device will be evaluated in this clinical trial.
