Study Summary

In the proposed study, the investigators assumed that using robot assisted tenodesis-grip training providing high does assisted grip movement may do the effects on motor shaping and greater brain priming for hand paresis of the stroke patients. The specific aim of this study is to examine the difference in the treatment effects between the combination of robot assisted tenodesis-grip training with task-oriented training and combination of traditional occupational therapy with task-oriented training on the motor, sensation, hand performance of the stroke patients. The expected outcomes of this research are to help the clinicians understand the training mechanism and effects of robot assisted tenodesis-grip training on functional performance of upper extremity for unilateral stroke patients.
