This study seeks to determine whether 30 treatments with AMES, to the proximal affected arm of subjects with chronic stroke, will improve subjects' proximal arm active range-of-motion. We hypothesize that the combination of assisted movement, torque biofeedback, and muscle vibration will reduce impairment (i.e., increase strength and range-of-motion; decrease inappropriate patterns of muscle contraction) and, thereby, lead to more accurate reaching with the proximal arm.
Subjects will receive 30 treatments with AMES, to the proximal arm which has been affected by a chronic stroke.
