Motor Control Changes after Utilizing Upper Extremity Myoelectric Powered Wearable Orthotics in Persons with Acute
Summary
This study shows that a myoelectric-powered wearable orthosis (MPWO) can improve upper extremity (UE) function and daily activities for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). The device enhanced range of motion and muscle activation, aiding independence.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Rehabilitation Medicine
- Assistive Technology
Background:
- Spinal cord injury (SCI) often leads to upper extremity (UE) weakness, significantly impacting daily activities and independence.
- Restoring UE motor function is a key goal in SCI rehabilitation and assistive technology development.
