Overview

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to show that a wearable compliant arm support consisting of inflatable bladders with adjustable straps to connect them to the waist and arm can meaningfully increase the reachable workspace of persons with post-stroke arm weakness.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • •greater than 6 months post-stroke
  • •passive abduction to 90 degrees at shoulder
  • •reduced active (retro)flexion/extension at shoulder when abducted to 90 degrees
  • •reduced active flexion/extension at elbow

Exclusion Criteria

  • •unable to give informed consent
  • •unable to comprehend and follow instructions
  • •have a condition (other than stroke) affecting sensorimotor function
  • •show evidence of unilateral spatial neglect

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Percent Change From Baseline in Reachable Workspace

Time Frame: baseline, while using support device, and 30 minutes following removal of support device (up to 4 minutes per assessment)

Reachable workspace was measured using a PhaseSpace motion capture system, recorded as an area (in square meters).

Secondary Outcomes

  • Percent Change From Baseline in Biceps Activation(baseline and while using support device (up to 10 seconds per assessment))
