Official title
Longitudinal Observation of Myoelectric Upper Limb Orthosis Use Among Veterans With Upper Limb Impairment
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The objective of this study was to document longitudinal outcomes in persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI) or stroke using the myoelectric upper limb orthosis with powered elbow and grasp in conjunction with motor learning-based therapy using both patient centric performance and patient reported outcome measures. Longitudinal observation allowed the investigators to detect both the initial therapeutic effects as well as the later functional outcomes of orthosis use. The investigators planned to recruit 15 Veterans and non-veterans who had TBI or stroke and upper limb impairment. The study required 29 visits over 22 weeks and was divided into three parts: orthotic fitting, therapy/training (9 weeks), and home use (9 weeks). Therapeutic and functional benefits were evaluated every 2 to 3 weeks over 18 weeks using simple, short clinical tests.
