Overview

Pilot study on the physiological response of robotic rehabilitation therapy for improving the performance of activities of daily living of stroke patients

The purpose of this research is to study the feasibility of the robotic therapy that can train activities of daily living tasks for chronic stroke patients. The participant will be involved in a feasibility study (one-time visit) to prove the efficacy of the robotic device with different force feedback (assistive and resistive force) and other feedback such as VR (virtual reality). We will collect movement data from a motion capture system and sEMG sensors that measure muscle activity to monitor the effect of a robotic rehabilitation device, named Spherical Parallel Instrument for Daily Living Emulation (SPINDLE). We will use a robotic therapy device to practice activities during daily living. This pilot study will be used to understand the effect of SPINDLE to translate the device as a home-based training for chronic stroke patients.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Kinematic change of the upper limb during ADLs

The max and range of motion of shoulder, elbow, and wrist joint for each task

Time frame: immediately after the intervention

Score of activities of daily living(ADL) tasks

We will use ARM-ULA standard score sheet to measure the performance of ADLs

Time frame: immediately after the intervention

Muscle activation change of the upper limb during ADLs

The subject will be asked to perform activities of daily living tasks with the passive SPINDLE. Upper limb range of motion and muscle activation will be quantified.

Time frame: immediately after the intervention

Secondary Outcomes

Usability measure

Questionnaire will be provided to the user to obtain qualitative feedback

Time frame: immediately after the intervention
