Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
iCOSMO
20 participants will receive the iCOSMO intervention. iCOSMO consists of two training approaches that will include active touch and movement exploratory procedures during goal-oriented tasks as well as robotic training using the Kinarm Exoskeleton device.
integrated Somatosensory-MOtor training using a COgnitive approach(iCOSMO)
The first training approach of iCOSMO will focus on integrated somatosensory-motor variables during reaching and object manipulation (60 minutes). The second training approach will focus on proprioceptive, motor and cognitive tasks using the Kinarm robotic exoskeleton (60 minutes). iCOSMO will be delivered 3 times per week (2 hours per session) for 6 weeks (Total: 36 hours of treatment).
Home GRASP
20 participants will receive the control intervention. The control group will receive a matched dose of a home-based exercise programme. The home-based exercise programme will be based on the Home Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Program.
Home Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Program (GRASP)
The home-based exercise programme will be based on the Home Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Program focusing on stretching, arm strengthening, hand strengthening, coordination and hand skills. The Home Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Program will be delivered 2 hours/session, 3 times/week, for 6 weeks.
