Project Summary
We combine sensors with fun, interactive computer games in order to strengthen arm muscles after stroke or SCI. Our sensors record electromyography (EMG) signals, which measure muscle contractions; these contractions are used to give ¡°biofeedback¡± during the games. This ¡°biofeedback¡± is intended to improve arm mobility and increase muscle activation and control over time.
This is a FREE program offered by the Perez Lab Team in the Arms and Hands Lab at Shirley Ryan! We¡¯d love to have you join us. Please reach out to Daniel Fox (dfox@sralab.org) with any questions, or to schedule your visit!
