A method is described for the measurement of forearm blood flow during sustained voluntary isometric hand-grip contractions that can be maintained constant by the subject’s monitoring of the strength of his contractions. 2. In most subjects it was found that contractions of 5% of their maximal voluntary force could be maintained without fatigue, and without any post-exercise increase in bloo...

متن کاملHome-based hand rehabilitation after chronic stroke: Randomized, controlled single-blind trial comparing the MusicGlove with a conventional exercise program.
UNLABELLED Individuals with chronic stroke have limited options for hand rehabilitation at home. Here, we sought to determine the feasibility and efficacy of home-based MusicGlove therapy. Seventeen participants with moderate hand impairment in the chronic phase of stroke were randomized to 3 wk of home-based exercise with either the MusicGlove or conventional tabletop exercises. The primary ou...
