Neurotechnology-Based, Intensive, Supplementary Upper-Extremity Training for Inpatients With Subacute Stroke: Feasibility Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Upper-extremity hemiparesis is a common and debilitating impairment after stroke, severely restricting stroke survivors' ability to participate in daily activities and function independently. Alarmingly, only a small percentage of stroke patients fully recover upper extremity function. Animal models indicate that high-dose upper extremity training during the early poststroke phase can significantly enhance motor recovery. However, translating such programs for human patients remains challenging due to resource limitations, patient compliance issues, and administrative constraints.

Objective

This study aimed to assess the feasibility and potential efficacy of an intensive, video game-based upper-extremity training protocol designed to improve movement quality durin
