Study Summary

The goal of this project is to develop and test a new robotic system to accommodate practice of tasks requiring reach, grasp and release of objects. Our previous work has shown that the MIME robot is safe and effective for improving reach in stroke subjects. But adequate control of hand movements is critical to a functional upper limb, and is often resistant to conventional therapeutic interventions. Many stroke survivors have residual ability to flex the fingers, but extension is often limited and impeded by increased passive stiffness in flexors, abnormal levels of increased tone in flexors and weakness in extensors. In a recent study, 38% of stroke survivors reported that impaired hand function was the most disabling motor impairment they faced.
