Chronic Stroke
Conditions
Brief summary
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
DEVICEEmulation 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

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Kinematic change of the upper limb during ADLs | immediately after the intervention | The max and range of motion of shoulder, elbow, and wrist joint for each task |
| Score of activities of daily living(ADL) tasks | immediately after the intervention | We will use ARM-ULA standard score sheet to measure the performance of ADLs |
| Muscle activation change of the upper limb during ADLs | immediately after the intervention | The subject will be asked to perform activities of daily living tasks with the passive SPINDLE. Upper limb range of motion and muscle activation will be quantified. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Usability measure | immediately after the intervention | Questionnaire will be provided to the user to obtain qualitative feedback |
