Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke at least 3 months prior to study enrollment
  • Mild-to-moderate to severe upper-limb motor impairments (as measured by a score between 21 and 50 on the arm section of the Fugl-Meyer scale).

Exclusion

  • Cognitive impairments that would significantly interfere with their ability to follow instructions (as measured by a score lower than 23 on the Mini Mental State Examination scale)
  • Severe attention deficits or hemispatial neglect (as measured by the Mesulam Cancellation test and the Line Bisection test);
  • Severe range-of-motion limitations (as measured via physical examination) or severe spasticity (as measured using the Modified Ashworth scale) that would prevent safe performance of home-based exercises;
  • Proprioceptive deficits that impair their ability to process feedback (as measured using the Fugl-Meyer Assessment-upper extremity; sensory section).
  • Implantable medical devices that are not compliant with the ISO 14117:2012 and/or ANSI/AAMI PC69 standards for Bluetooth compatibility. We will ask subjects to provide us with their medical device record card and verify that the device complies with the above-mentioned standards. If not, they will be excluded from the study.
  • Participation in upper-extremity rehabilitation program (i.e. outpatient occupational therapy, research study, ...).
  • Recent (\< 3 months) Botox injection in the upper-extremity or plan to undergo injections during the study timeline.
