Increasing the Repertoire of Intermuscular Co-ordination Post Stroke Through EMG-Guided Human-Machine Interaction (NCT06523335)

Intermuscular Coordination as a Novel Clinical Target for Stroke Neurorehabilitation

🟒 Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic πŸ“‹ Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: University of Houston

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The purposes of this study include: 1. \- To identify whether features of aberrant intermuscular coordination patterns can be used to predict motor impairment after stroke. 2. \- To test whether muscle synergies are malleable to a non-invasive EMG-guided exercise that induces changes in intermuscular coordination of upper extremity muscles after stroke.

Who can join: Review the eligibility criteria below.

Location: University of Houston β€” Houston, Texas

Age range: 40 Years to 75 Years
