Brief Summary

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

This study is a feasibility study of a new device that moves the hand of patients with spasticity to reduce hand muscle tone. The device's ability to improve spasticity before and after a 20-minute session with the device at Yale New Haven Hospital's outpatient clinic of Physical Medicine \& Rehabilitation, or the Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit.

Detailed Description

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

Each patient will participate in a single 20 minute session, during which the device will extend and flex finger muscles. Each participant's duration will be approximately 1 hour during clinic, including time to address any further questions, to calibrate the device, and to measure the Modified Ashworth Score (MAS) before and after the intervention.
