Interventions

  • practice muscle activation patterns — BEHAVIORAL
    practice upper limb muscle activation patterns using EMG-controlled games
  • task practice — BEHAVIORAL
    practice functional upper limb tasks

Study Details

The purpose of this study is to develop and test if upper limb task practice and muscle activity training improve upper limb function in stroke survivors. Participants will be asked to come to the laboratory 23 times (approximately 3 times a week) over 2.5 months to receive upper limb task practice, muscle activity training, and/or upper extremity functional assessments.
