Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates the effects of robot-assisted therapy for adults more than 6 months after stroke on upper limb functioning. Half of the participants will receive robot-assisted therapy for the arm affected by stroke, and the other half will receive robot-assisted therapy plus training in how to use the weaker arm during every day activities.


Clinical Trial Description

Research has shown that robot-assisted therapy can help people regain control of simple reaching or grasping movements, but these improvements don't generalize well to use of the weaker limb during everyday tasks. This study aims to refine and test a protocol named the Active Learning Program for Stroke (ALPS), which teaches people to use active problem solving strategies and a home program to improve function. Therapist-delivered ALPS instruction may incorporate use of strategies (e.g. STOP, THINK, DO, CHECK) modeled after the Cognitive Orientation for daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) approach to improve real-world use of the paretic upper limb. We will evaluate whether the combination of robot-assisted therapy and ALPS training leads to better satisfaction and functional use of the weaker arm in persons with motor impairments more than 6 months after stroke, as compared to robot-assisted therapy alone. ;
