Sensory-Motor Rehabilitation Post Stroke
Sponsor: University of Maryland, Baltimore
Summary
Early after stroke, patients often have significant motor impairment and sensory deficit. Evidence has demonstrated heightened plasticity and significant recovery in the acute phase (first months) post stroke but there has been a lack of effective and practical protocols and devices for early intensive sensorimotor therapy.This research study will conduct a randomized clinical trial of an intensive motor-sensory rehabilitation on patients with acute stroke using a wearable rehabilitation robot. The primary aims are to facilitate sensorimotor recovery, reduce ankle impairments, and improve balance and gait functions. This clinical trial will be conducted on the Study and Control groups of acute stroke survivors.

A portable rehabilitation robot will be used to strongly or gently move the impaired ankle joint back and forth. Then subjects will be asked to use muscles to move the ankle with or without the robotic guidance depending on which group the subjects are in.
