About This Trial
The following experiment will be conducted with 15 chronic stroke survivors and 15 control subjects. Subjects will perform hand movements in the virtual reality environment using a head-mounted display. Quest's onboard cameras allow real-time tracking of hand motion, estimating joint angles of the finger and the thumb. For each feedback manipulation condition (i.e., movement amplification or reduc…
