In the researchers' words
The purpose of this study is to design a predictive model of stroke recovery based on baseline measurements of arm movement and brain physiology. The expectation is the development of a formula to predict a person's response to an arm rehabilitation program provided in the chronic phase (6 months or greater post stroke) of recovery. The study will include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), genetic testing using blood and saliva, and an arm exercise program consisting of robot-assisted exercise combined with functional arm exercise called transition to task training (TTT).
