Summary

This trial tests the GoHand sensor, which gives sound feedback to help stroke patients improve hand movements. It targets people with reduced hand function after a stroke. The sensor helps the brain learn correct movements by providing positive sound cues during practice.

Experimental Treatment

Placebo Group

Group I: GoHand Feedback GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Both groups will receive a standardized home practice program, the GRASP (Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Program). This is a program that has a standard set of arm and hand movements to be practiced 45 minutes per day over a one month period. The person manipulates objects to practice different hand movements. These are everyday objects and each person will be given a set of these to take home and to keep. For the Experimental Group, the person will be taught the GRASP program and how to move the wrist and hand optimally to activate the GoHand sensor to hear the sound.

Group II: GoHand Measurement GroupPlacebo Group1 Intervention

For Group 2, the person will be taught GRASP program and how to wear the sensor so it measures movement but does not emit a sound.
