This trial is looking for stroke survivors aged 21 or older with difficulty moving their arms. Participants will train using a special computer interface combined with sleep techniques to help improve arm function.
You may be able to join if
- I am 21 years old or older
- I had my first stroke affecting my arm movement at least 6 months ago
- I have severe to moderate difficulty moving my arm
- I can activate my shoulder and elbow muscles at least a little
You may not be able to join if
- I cannot follow instructions for the task
- I have a vision problem that prevents me from seeing the screen
- I have anesthesia or neglect in my affected arm
- I have participated in another study on my affected arm in the last 6 weeks
- I cannot understand or follow commands in English
- I have had multiple strokes affecting both sides of my brain
- I have significant arm pain that prevents me from participating
- I have received spasticity treatment in the last 3 months

Check Your EligibilityThis study will examine the combination of myoelectric computer interface (MyoCI) training with targeted memory reactivation (TMR) in chronic stroke survivors. The study aims to determine whether this training-plus-sleep combination will generalize to improve arm motor function over an extended training protocol in stroke survivors.
