Dr. A.M. Barrett receives NIH funding to study hand function poststroke

(Kessler Foundation) Regaining hand function after stroke can be a significant factor in returning individuals to their homes, communities, and the workplace. Research indicates that intensive training can be beneficial, but may need to be delivered soon after stroke, during a critical period of heightened plasticity. This project will compare traditional rehabilitation methods with hand training using robotics and game-based virtual reality.
