Effects of Vibration on Motor Function of Survivors of Chronic Stroke
Sponsor: Shirley Ryan AbilityLab
Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate how vibration of the tendons enhances arm and hand training in survivors of chronic stroke. The investigators hypothesize that wrist/elbow robotic training, combined with body awareness training will improve arm and hand function in individuals with chronic stroke.

Interventions
Assisted Motion with Enhanced Sensation training
During the AMES intervention, the AMES device will flex or extend the wrist/hand joint, and the participant's task will be to assist this motion. As the wrist/hand joint moves, the machine will be delivering a vibratory mechanical stimulus on the opposite side to the direction of movement. The activity of the muscles during the movement of the wrist/hand joint will be recorded by the device and it will be shown on a screen to be used as feedback during the training
