Overview
Pilot study on the physiological response of robotic rehabilitation therapy for improving the performance of activities of daily living of stroke patients
Detailed description
The purpose of this research is to study the feasibility of the robotic therapy that can train activities of daily living tasks for chronic stroke patients. The participant will be involved in a feasibility study (one-time visit) to prove the efficacy of the robotic device with different force feedback (assistive and resistive force) and other feedback such as VR (virtual reality). We will collect movement data from a motion capture system and sEMG sensors that measure muscle activity to monitor the effect of a robotic rehabilitation device, named Spherical Parallel Instrument for Daily Living Emulation (SPINDLE). We will use a robotic therapy device to practice activities during daily living. This pilot study will be used to understand the effect of SPINDLE to translate the device as a home-based training for chronic stroke patients.
Interventions
- Device Emulation of Active Daily Living tasks with a robotic device (SPINDLE)
SPINDLE will provide an assistive and resistive force to aid in rehabilitating the subject's upper limb
Primary outcome measures
- Kinematic change of the upper limb during ADLs [Time frame: immediately after the intervention]
- Score of activities of daily living(ADL) tasks [Time frame: immediately after the intervention]
- Muscle activation change of the upper limb during ADLs [Time frame: immediately after the intervention]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Usability measure [Time frame: immediately after the intervention]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Adults with chronic stroke, which affected their upper limb motor functions
- Adults could able to understand the verbal cues during the training
Exclusion criteria
- Adults with chronic stroke, who did not lose their upper limb motor functions
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
