Safety and Effectiveness of Spatial StimelMD (SSMD) in Subjects With Upper Limb Neuromotor Impairments

This is a multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical study evaluating the safety and effectiveness of the Spatial StimelMD (SSMD) device for upper-limb neuromotor rehabilitation in adults with impairment following stroke or traumatic brain injury (TBI). Participants will be randomized to receive either SSMD therapy plus standard rehabilitation care or standard functional electrical stimulation (FES) plus standard care. Subjects will complete approximately 25 supervised treatment sessions over 5-6 weeks, with assessments at baseline, mid-treatment, post-treatment (primary endpoint), and a 1-month follow-up. The primary effectiveness endpoint is improvement in upper-limb motor function measured by the Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) assessment. Secondary outcomes include movement metrics, EMG signal strength, functional independence, usability measures, and adverse event monitoring. The study plans to enroll approximately 150 subjects to achieve 126 completers, across 2-6 clinical sites.
