Robot-assisted hand therapy using brain and muscle signals after stroke

This trial is testing a wrist-hand rehabilitation robot that learns what movements you want to make by reading signals from both your brain and your muscles. The robot then provides electrical stimulation and mechanical assistance to help you practice moving your wrist and hand. Researchers want to see if using both brain and muscle information together helps people recover hand function better than using muscle information alone after a stroke.

After a stroke, many people struggle to regain control of their hand and wrist. While rehabilitation robots show promise, this trial explores whether a smarter system—one that understands your movement intentions by listening to both your brain and your muscles—might help you recover better than traditional muscle-only approaches.
