Bilateral
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will control game using EMG from both upper limbs.
Unilateral
ACTIVE COMPARATORParticipants will control game using the more impaired upper limb.
Interventions
Participants will control game using EMG from the more impaired upper limb.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Single, unilateral stroke at least 6 months prior to enrollment
- Moderate hand impairment defined by Stage 4 or Stage 5 on the Chedoke McMaster Stroke Assessment Scale
You may not qualify if:
- Visual neglect or deficits (with inability to compensate)
- Upper extremity orthopedic conditions that interfere with movement
- Cerebellar stroke
- Children, prisoners, or adult unable to provide consent will not be recruited. As the procedures pose no increased risk for pregnant women, we will not specifically exclude them.
