Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of an exoskeletal network of passive, multi-joint springs for forearm supination. Also known as the forearm ExoNET, the device is a passive, robotic device that will properly assist forearm supination in the post-stroke adult population.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:40 Years to 70 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:Yes
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. 1. Between the ages of 40-70 (to reduce confounding effects of aging on muscle, movement accuracy and proprioception)
  2. 2. Have sustained a single, unilateral stroke at least 8 months prior to enrollment
  3. 3. Severe to moderate upper extremity impairment (ARAT score 0-30)
  4. 4. Ability to move their elbow and wrist when supported against gravity
  5. 5. Cortical stroke with hemiparesis, tactile sensation
  6. 6. Available medical records about lesion locations indicating the stroke was caused by a middle cerebral artery ischemic infarct
  1. 1. Bilateral paresis
  2. 2. Diffuse/multiple lesion sites or multiple stroke events
  3. 3. Hemispatial neglect or visual field cut that prevent visual feedback
  4. 4. Shoulder pain and/or articular rigidity on the upper limb joint
  5. 5. Severe sensory deficits indicated by the Two-Point Discrimination Test
  6. 6. Botox injection to the affected upper extremity within the previous 4 months
  7. 7. Aphasia, cognitive impairment, or affective dysfunction that would influence the ability to consent, perform the experiment, or follow commands
  8. 8. Concurrent participation in upper extremity rehabilitation either as part of a research intervention protocol or a prescribed therapy
  9. 9. Other neurological issues
  10. 10. Meet any of the contraindications to Delsys Trigno Sensors:
  11. * Implanted with electronic devices of any kind, including cardiac pace-makers or similar assistive devices, electronic induction pumps, and implanted stimulators
  12. * Irritated skin or open wounds
  13. * Silver allergy
