Overview
The purpose of this study is to assess how the Rehabilitation Technologies for Hand and Arm (R3THA) device can be used for rehabilitation of people with stroke. the study will evaluate the feasibility of R3THA as outpatient telerehabilitation administered by trained clinicians to individuals with stroke.
Interventions
- Other RETHA
The study will enroll up to 10 participants with stroke who will be paired with trained therapists to receive R3THA telerehabilitation. The participants with stroke will participate in 7 training sessions. The training includes hand and arm exercises.
