Error Enhancement of the Velocity Component in the Course of Stroke Patients' Reaching Movements - A Pilot Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Error Enhancement and control treatment for Stroke and Hemiparesis. Completed, enrolled 7 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this pilot study was to explore the impact of enhancement of the velocity component error in the course of reaching movements of the impaired/hemiparetic limb in an acute stroke subject. We hypothesized that the method would shift velocity profiles toward the optimal, resulting in a reduction in error. A prototype robot. This robotic device system has a two-dimensional motor, basic measurement capacities, and a robotic arm which is engaged to the subject's upper-limb in a sitting position. The enhancement of the velocity component error would shift velocity profiles toward the optimal, resulting in a reduction in error.

Interventions
Patients underwent upper extremity robotic training with the error enhancement effect. Training have focused on hand reaching movements in varity of directions and range of motions.
