Overview
Body
BQ 2.0 is a wearable medical device that produces and delivers non-invasive, extremely-low–intensity and low-frequency, frequency-tuned electromagnetic fields in order to stimulate neuronal networks with the aim of reducing disability and promoting neurorecovery. In this study, BQ 2.0 is intended to reduce disability in adult patients with subacute ischemic stroke, with a moderate to severe disability which includes an upper extremity motor impairment. BQ 2.0 will be used for 9 weeks in conjunction with physical and occupational therapy (PT/OT), with treatment initiated in acute care hospital (ACH) or inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRF) and then continued post-discharge in subjects’ homes under periodic remote supervision of a trained site study team member.
