Combining MyoCI With Memory Reactivation to Improve Motor Recovery After Stroke
United States70 participantsStarted 2020-02-25
Plain-language summary
This study will examine the combination of myoelectric computer interface (MyoCI) training with targeted memory reactivation (TMR) in chronic stroke survivors. The study aims to determine whether this training-plus-sleep combination will generalize to improve arm motor function over an extended training protocol in stroke survivors.
