Summary

This study tests whether a gentle, adapted version of the Japanese martial art aikido can improve hand and wrist function, strength, and quality of life in adults who have trouble gripping with one hand. Twenty participants will either practice aikido or continue their usual routine. Researchers will measure muscle mass, joint movement, pain, and sleep quality to see if the exercise helps.
