<p>A device and method for bilateral upper extremity training for patients with a paretic upper extremity, the device facilitating cortical remodeling, sustained relearning and improvement in functional outcomes in paretic and possibly non-paretic upper extremities. In one variation, the device include s a base (2), an adjustable chest plate (31) for placing the user at a set distance from the device and isolating arm movement, an incline plate (3) attached and inclinable relative to the base, two width plates (30, 31) adjustably attached to the incline plate, and two swivel (50, 51) plates adjustably attached to the width plates. In one variation, the swivel plates are swivalable relative to a fixed point in a plane parallel to the plane of the width plates. In another variation, the swivel plates are pivotably attached to the width plates. Other features of the device include a counter for counting user activity, and audible and visual cueing devices for facilitating sustained learning.</p> |
