Study Summary
This trial looks at whether or not a myoelectric Elbow-Wrist-Hand orthosis, which is a device that helps people with upper limb paralysis caused by a stroke, improves function.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who've had a stroke leading to upper limb paralysis. They must have some shoulder movement, be able to understand English, and produce detectable muscle signals in their upper arm. People with severe shoulder issues, pain or hypersensitivity in the arms, fixed contractures, high spasticity or tone, or those unable to follow simple instructions cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing a myoelectric Elbow-Wrist-Hand orthosis device designed to help people with arm paralysis from strokes regain function. Participants will use this advanced brace that responds to muscle signals to see if it improves their ability to move and use their affected arm.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly stated here, potential side effects may include discomfort from wearing the device, skin irritation at sensor sites, fatigue from therapy sessions using the orthosis and possible frustration if desired improvements are not achieved.
