To investigate whether a hand-positioning device placed in the palm of a patient with nonprogressive brain damage will decrease hypertonicity of the flexor muscles of the hand through proprioreceptive sensory input to the alpha-gamma coactivation loop, a hard cone was placed in the affected hand of 11 subjects who had sustained cerebrovascular accidents and had flexor hypertonicity of the upper extremity. Measurements of hypertonicity and functionality were made weekly for four weeks. All subjects experienced a significant decrease in flexor hypertonicity. Only slight changes were observed in functionality.
为了研究放置在非进行性脑损伤患者手掌中的手部定位装置是否会通过向α-γ共同激活回路的本体感觉输入来降低手部屈肌的高张力，将一个硬锥体放置在11名脑血管意外后上肢存在屈肌高张力的受试者的患手中。连续四周每周测量高张力和功能。所有受试者的屈肌高张力均显著降低。仅在功能方面观察到轻微变化。
