About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Stroke focused on measuring Stroke, weakness, rehabilitation, chronic stroke

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age greater than 18 years
  • Having a single ischemic or hemorrhagic hemispheric stroke of more than 6 months duration
  • The ability to selectively demonstrate active extension of at least 10 degrees at the metacarpo-phalangeal joint and the interphalangeal joints and 20 degrees at the wrist
  • Capable of effectively participating in the study

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Upper extremity contracture/pain that interfere with study technique
  • Pre-existing upper extremity neurologic or orthopedic disorders
  • Unstable medical condition
