AMES Therapy With EMG Biofeedback
The AMES device provides a 30 minute treatment period of alternating passive flexion and then extension of the hand while vibrators vibrate the muscles of the hand. The subjects job is to attempt to assist the device in the movement. A computer screen will provide visual feedback of the amount of EMG activity the subject is able to generate in the hand. Each subject will receive 30 sessions of AMES therapy in the clinic. Each session will consist of 10 min of functional testing (i.e., passive motion and strength tests) followed by 30 min of grasp therapy using the AMES device.
AMES Therapy With Torque Biofeedback
The AMES device provides a 30 minute treatment period of alternating passive flexion and then extension of the hand while vibrators vibrate the muscles of the hand. The subjects job is to attempt to assist the device in the movement. A computer screen will provide visual feedback of the amount of joint torque the subject is able to generate in the hand. Each subject will receive 30 sessions of AMES therapy in the clinic. Each session will consist of 10 min of functional testing (i.e., passive motion and strength tests) followed by 30 min of grasp therapy using the AMES device.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Within a week of completing all training sessions.

Four of 8 possible subscales were used: Physical Problems, Mobility, Hand, and Daily Living, consisting of 26 total questions \[scored from 1 (least impact) to 5 (most impact)\]. The total (summed) raw score for all 4 sub-scales has a minimum of 26 and maximum of 130. The total raw score is then transformed: \[(Actual Raw Score-Lowest Possible Raw Score)/Possible Raw Score Range\] X 100. The minimum transformed score is 0 and the maximum is 100.

Maximum squeezing (i.e., flexion) strength for thumb and fingers at the end of each training session. The participant squeezed the hand as hard as possible 3 times with a 5-10 second rest period between each effort. A single score was calculated for each training session as the average of the 3 efforts. Baseline score was based on the average of the first 3 session scores (i.e., 9 total efforts over the first 3 training sessions). Final score was based on the average of the last 3 training sessions.
