Study Summary

This trial will develop and test a new way of using motor imagery to help improve movement in muscles that are far from the center of the body, by using a robotic prosthesis. The study will compare how well this new method works compared to other methods that don't involve the prosthesis. The study will be done on both healthy adults and adults who have had a stroke.
