Outcome Measures

Outcome	Result	p-value
PRIMARY AMAT	1693; 1693; 1556; 1386; 1341; 1187	—
PRIMARY M1 Activation Absolute Change Score	359.6; 489.88; 429.7	—

Summary

The long-range goal of this work is to identify how to target treatment so that the brain is functionally re-organized to produce movement. This study will compare treatment response to robotics versus functional neuromuscular stimulation.
