Weakness of Extremities as Sequela of Stroke

The goal of this study is to determine the efficacy of electromechanical exoskeleton-assisted gait training on rehabilitation functional outcomes in patients with stroke undergoing therapy in an in-patient rehabilitation facility.

Associative Peripheral Stimulation (APS) is a non-invasive therapy intended for stroke rehabilitation involving transcutaneous electrical muscle stimulation paired with voluntary movement. This pilot study investigates whether APS applied during the acute phase of stroke recovery may reduce impairment and improve function in the affected upper extremity.
