Abstract

Stroke is one of the leading causes of long-term disability in the United States with many survivors unable to participate in rehabilitation. We have developed a novel rehabilitation paradigm for the upper extremity (UE) that uses a Tongue Drive System (TDS) to control a robotic device (HandMentor (HM)) while engaging with a game-like user interface for stroke survivors. This pilot study demonstrates that the TDS-HM intervention elicits improvements in motor performance that transfer to reduced upper extremity impairments and improvements in quality of life for moderately to severely impaired stroke survivors.
