Pilot Study of Motor-cable-driven System for Stroke Wrist and Forearm Rehabilitation

The Chinese University of Hong Kong

Status: Enrolling

Conditions: Stroke

Treatments: Device: Motor-cable-driven Rehabilitation Robotic System

Study type: Interventional

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT06062121

2023.166

Details and patient eligibility

About

The research purpose is to investigate the feasibility of using a motor-cable-driven system for wrist and forearm recovery of hemiplegic subjects suffered from stroke, where assistive force would be generated from cables connected to pulleys and electrical motors. The system may use EMG signal to control the movements.

Enrollment: 20 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 85 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers
