Summary
This study tests whether playing specially designed, AI-powered games can improve thinking skills and arm/hand function in people who have had a stroke. Forty adults aged 45-60 with mild memory or thinking problems after a stroke will use a smartphone app and motion-sensing games for training. The goal is to see if this fun, game-based approach helps them recover better than standard care.
