Information provided by: Carnegie Mellon University
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00272259
  Purpose

The investigators are looking for individuals who have suffered a stroke to participate in an experiment examining the use of robotics in rehabilitation. They are trying to develop a robotic environment for hands after having had a stroke. Participants will interact with up to two small robots and a visual display. The experiment involves minimal risk and may involve testing sessions over multiple weeks. Subjects must be at least 1 year post-stroke and have difficulty picking up small objects.
