Combining MyoCI With Memory Reactivation to Improve Motor Recovery After Stroke
Sponsored by Northwestern University
About this study
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.
