Repetitive Action Simulation Circuit Training to Reduce Arm Weakness After a Stroke
Sponsor: Towson University
Summary
This study aims to examine the effect of an action simulation circuit training for individuals who have experienced upper extremity weakness following a stroke. The study will also examine the feasibility of the intervention as an occupational therapy rehabilitation approach. Participants will: * Engage in four workstations within the circuit training format: mental practice, action observation, virtual reality, and repetitive task-specific practice. * Participate in training 2x/week for 6 weeks (12 sessions).

Interventions
Upper Extremity Action Simulation Circuit Training
Participants rotate between four workstations: 1. Mental Practice: participants listen to an audio-guided recording that promotes the cognitive rehearsal of performing a task with their affected upper extremity. 2. Virtual Reality: participants perform virtual reality activities or games involving the use of their upper extremities. 3. Action Observation: participants watch video clips of individuals performing upper extremity tasks. 4. Repetitive-Task Specific Practice: participants physically rehearse various upper extremity tasks with the assistance of an occupational therapist.
