Following spinal cord injury (SCI), upper extremity (UE) paralysis or weakness impede one's ability to carry out activities of daily living (ADLs). Such a limitation drastically lowers a person's level of independence. The main objective of this study was to assess the benefits of an UE myoelectric-powered wearable orthosis (MPWO) produced by MyoMo, Inc. (Boston, MA) on improving UE motor function in order to enhance ADLs and quality of life in individuals with subacute SCI. These preliminary findings imply that UE-MPWO device-assisted rehabilitation may increase participants’ UE activities, leading to improved function.

摘要

Following spinal cord injury (SCI), upper extremity (UE) paralysis or weakness impede one's ability to carry out activities of daily living (ADLs). Such a limitation drastically lowers a person's level of independence. The main objective of this study was to assess the benefits of an UE myoelectric-powered wearable orthosis (MPWO) produced by MyoMo, Inc. (Boston, MA) on improving UE motor function in order to enhance ADLs and quality of life in individuals with subacute SCI. These preliminary findings imply that UE-MPWO device-assisted rehabilitation may increase participants’ UE activities, leading to improved function.
