A Pilot Study Investigating the Feasibility of the Saebo Arm Training Program on an Inpatient Population

Study Objectives: 1. To document the safe and effective application of the F.T.M. Arm Training Program using the SaeboFlex to an inpatient post stroke rehabilitation population. 2. To compare functional improvements in hand and UE use achieved with the F.T.M. program as compared to generally applied therapeutic treatment approaches. 3. To develop recommendations for an inpatient retraining protocol that could then be evaluated in a multi-center trial. 4. To document the retention of UE and hand improvements after SaeboFlex training is discontinued as well as the carry over of these gains into daily function after therapy has been discontinued.
