Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to monitor the daily upper limb movement of persons with stroke, and to relate these quantities to measures of recovery and impairment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is part of The Natural History of Stroke Recovery project. In this study the investigators plan to develop, test and validate an algorithm and software for using Inertial Measuring Units (IMUs) to monitor upper limb daily movement. Then, investigators plan to use this system to monitor such activity in stroke patients.

Investigators also plan to develop, test and validate an algorithm and software to test proprioception acuity based on muscle synergy during active and passive movement. Muscle synergy will be determined based on muscles' electrical activity, as measured using surface electromyography (EMG).

Investigators will then test the relation between daily movements of the upper limb in stroke patients, and their recovery/impairment levels, including proprioception acuity.
