EMG Training for Altering Activation Patterns After Stroke
May 2, 2022 updated by: Elliot Roth, Shirley Ryan AbilityLab
Altering Activation Patterns With EMG Training in the Distal Upper Extremity After Stroke
Evaluation of a new EMG controlled game to improve hand function in chronic stroke survivors.
Study Overview
Status
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Increased impairment of the hand is commonly reported as an outcome occurring after a stroke.
This impairment is due mainly to the decreased ability to modulate appropriate muscle activation patterns.
Issues with appropriately modifying activation patterns can profoundly affect tasks of daily living.
This study is evaluating a novel software focusing on retraining hand muscle activation patterns through an Electromyographic (EMG) controlled game.
Stroke survivors with chronic, severe hemiparesis of the hand will participate in a longitudinal study consisting of 3 weeks of training.
We hypothesize that stroke survivors will experience a decrease in time to complete a test of EMG control, as well as improvement in hand motor control.

Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- 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
Exclusion Criteria:
- Visual neglect or deficits (with inability to compensate)
