Description
F21 Improving Upper-Limb Function in Chronic Stroke Utilizing Custom Myoelectric Bracing: A Case Report: A case report that describes the use of a custom-fabricated myoelectric elbow-wrist-hand orthosis to increase upper-extremity function in a chronic stroke survivor. Stefanie Dunaway MS, OTR/L
F22 Case Study: Upper-Extremity Dynamic Orthoses in an Individual with Arthrogryposis: This case study examines an individual with arthrogryposis who used two upper-extremity dynamic orthoses: a trunk orthosis with flexion assist developed at the Research Institute of Chicago, and a WREX manufactured by DuPont. Fabrication of the devices, use, and results of using the device will be discussed. Elyse Annette Zanghi, CO
F23 Giving Them a Hand: Wearing a Myoelectric Elbow-Wrist-Hand Orthosis Reduces Upper-Extremity Impairment in Chronic Stroke: The vast majority of stroke survivors exhibit no movement in their affected hand, which significantly undermines performance of daily tasks. There is an urgent need to determine the efficacy of technology that facilitates movement in this population. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of a myoelectric orthosis on paretic upper-extremity outcomes in chronic stroke. Heather T. Peters, MOT, OTR/L
