Clinical Trial: Vibratory Feedback for Early Post-Stroke Motor Recovery
July 11, 2014
Study Overview
This clinical study evaluated the effectiveness of vibratory feedback in improving upper-limb motor recovery in stroke patients. Conducted as a randomized, cross-over trial, the research tested the SWORD device, a wearable rehabilitation tool that combines 3D motion analysis with targeted vibratory feedback. Results showed a significant increase in the number of correct movements per minute, demonstrating the potential of this technology to enhance motor relearning in early stroke rehabilitation. These findings support further exploration of vibratory feedback as a tool for optimizing recovery outcomes.
