Summary

This study tests whether adding one hour of arm-hand exercises daily (5 days a week for 4 weeks) to standard care helps stroke patients regain arm and hand function. 80 people who had a stroke will be randomly assigned to either the extra arm-hand therapy or a lower-body exercise program. Researchers will measure arm function, independence, and quality of life up to one year after the stroke, and also check if the extra therapy is cost-effective.
