POST-STROKE HEMIPARESIS

This study tests whether adding a mild brain stimulation technique (tDCS) to a standard arm therapy (constraint-induced therapy) helps people who had a stroke more than therapy alone. Forty adults with chronic stroke and mild-to-moderate arm weakness will be randomly assigned to …

This study tests a new, smarter electrical stimulation system to help people who have had a stroke walk better. The system uses a computer to adjust stimulation in real time, aiming to correct footdrop (when the foot drags). About 20 participants will compare this new system to a…

This study tests a special hand device that helps people who had a stroke and cannot open their hand to grab things. The device is designed to let users control it themselves to pick up, move, and release objects like a glass or spoon. Researchers will compare how well 30 partici…

This study tests whether adding mild electrical pulses to leg muscles during stationary cycling helps people with stroke-related leg weakness improve their heart fitness and walking ability. Thirty adults who had a stroke within the past year will cycle three times a week for eig…

This study compares three different robotic exoskeletons to see which one helps stroke survivors walk better. Researchers will enroll 96 people who had a stroke 3 to 8 months ago and have weakness on one side. Participants will use the devices during gait training, and the goal i…
