Assessment of the Functional Impact of a Close-loop Controlled Prehension Neuroprosthesis in Post-stroke Patients

The aim of the PREHENS-STROKE study is to propose a functional replacement device to restore grip capacities in patients with hemiparesis after stroke, unable to actively open the hand to seize objects. The main objective is to evaluate the impact of the use of a self-controlled prehension neuroprosthesis on the ability to perform a standardized grasping task, consisting of grasping, relocating and releasing a glass (palmar grasp) or a spoon (key-pinch), compared to a condition without the use of the prehension neuroprosthesis.
