Infusing Robot-Assisted Therapy With Motor Learning Principles: An Active Learning Program for Stroke
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Robot-Assisted Therapy (RT) and Robot & Task-Oriented Training (RT-TOT) for Stroke. Completed, enrolled 11 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability in older adults in the United States. At six months after stroke, up to 65% of the more than 795,000 persons who experience a stroke each year continue to have motor impairments that inhibit functional use of the weaker arm during daily activities and negatively impact quality of life. Rehabilitation robots provide clinicians with new treatment options to improve movement and arm function after stroke. The purpose of this pilot study is to develop and test a therapy called the "Active Learning Program for Stroke" (ALPS). We are combining this therapy program with robot-assisted therapy and a home program for the stroke-affected arm and hand.

Timeline
Interventions
Highly repetitive robot-assisted therapy for paretic arm with Armeo (1 hr sessions, 3x week for 3 weeks) followed by robot-assisted therapy for hand motions with Amadeo (3x week for 3 weeks). Robot training to be accompanied with ALPS motor learning program directed toward UE self management and transfer of training to daily activities in home \& community.
Highly repetitive robot-assisted therapy for paretic arm with Armeo (30 min sessions, 3x week for 3 weeks) followed by robot-assisted therapy for hand motions with Amadeo (3x week for 3 weeks). Task oriented training will be delivered for remaining 30 mins of each treatment session. Robot and task oriented training to be accompanied with ALPS motor learning program directed toward UE self management and transfer of training to daily activities in home \& community.
