Clinical
Emory is one of the sites involved in the EXCITE (Extremity Constraint-Induced Therapy Evaluation) study to evaluate the effectiveness of constraining the intact upper extremity in rehabilitation of patients with strokes sustained in the previous 3 months. This is a national, multi-center, NIH-funded trial. Dr. Wolf at Emory is the overall Principal Investigator and Dr. Sathian is a Co-Investigator.
Basic
Coupled to the EXCITE study is a project investigating neural re-organization accompanying functional recovery. This multi-center study is awaiting approval by the NIH. Dr. Sathian is the Principal Investigator at Emory.
