Effect of home task-practice compliance in real-world hand use in stroke survivors

项目总结/摘要 母公司补助金（R01 HD094731）的目的是确定TheraBracelet与手部任务相结合是否 对于中风后手功能的恢复，练习上级优于单独的手任务练习， 动力研究母基金Aim 1的重点是确定TheraBracelet对手部功能的影响 通过标准化运动能力评估测量的恢复。这种多样性补充将提供一个 中风幸存者在家中的行为对手功能恢复的影响的新见解。目标1 这种多样性补充将决定参与者遵守家庭锻炼计划的效果 在日常生活中通过可穿戴加速度传感器测量的麻痹手使用。目标2将探索个人 影响家庭锻炼计划依从性水平的因素。这项研究预计将揭开 中风幸存者在家中活动对运动恢复的重要性，这在康复中经常被忽视 服务和研究。从这项工作中获得的新知识将为以下工作奠定重要的基础： 发展个性化的行为指导，以提高家庭锻炼计划的依从性，从而 改善运动恢复。最重要的是，这个奖项将促进代表性不足的少数民族候选人（先生。 Ja 'Quann Gallant）作为职业DPT/博士研究员。培训活动将侧重于开展新的研究 Gallant先生进行补充研究和开始他的研究生涯的技能。具体来说，格兰特先生 将（1）提高神经康复研究领域的整体知识，（2）熟练掌握 量化，分析和解释可穿戴传感器数据和临床/行为数据，以及（3）开发一个 成功申请DPT/PhD课程。因此，这一补充奖将有助于提高 生物医学劳动力的多样性，因为只有7%的博士学位获得者在科学和工程 学科是非洲裔美国人，而非洲裔美国人占美国总人口的12%， 根据NSF的报告，年龄在18 - 74岁之间。

PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT The objective of the parent grant (R01 HD094731) is to determine if combining TheraBracelet with hand task practice is superior to hand task practice alone for recovery of hand function post-stroke in an adequately powered study. The parent grant Aim 1 focuses on determining the effect of TheraBracelet on hand functional recovery as measured by a standardized motor capacity assessment. This diversity supplement will provide a new insight into the effect of stroke survivors’ behavior at home on hand functional recovery. Specifically, Aim 1 of this diversity supplement will determine the effect of participants’ compliance to the home exercise program on paretic hand use in daily living measured via a wearable accelerometer sensor. Aim 2 will explore personal factors affecting the level of compliance to the home exercise program. This research is expected to unveil the importance of stroke survivors’ activity at home for motor recovery which is often overlooked in rehabilitation services and research. The new knowledge to be obtained from this work will provide a critical groundwork to develop personalized behavioral coaching to enhance the home exercise program compliance, thereby improving motor recovery. Most importantly, this award will foster the underrepresented minority candidate (Mr. Ja’Quann Gallant) as a career DPT/PhD researcher. The training activities will focus on developing new research skills for Mr. Gallant to perform the supplement research and begin his research career. Specifically, Mr. Gallant will (1) enhance the overall knowledge of the neurorehabilitation research field, (2) acquire proficiency in quantifying, analyzing, and interpreting wearable sensor data and clinical/behavioral data, and (3) develop a successful application for a DPT/PhD program. Therefore, this supplement award will contribute to enhancing diversity in the biomedical workforce, as only 7% of doctoral degree recipients in science and engineering disciplines were African American, whereas African Americans make up 12% of the total US population between the ages of 18-74 according to NSF report.
