New device hopes to restore hand movement in stroke survivors
NCT ID NCT07654582
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding augmented cues—like visual and auditory feedback from a sensor-based glove—to standard physical therapy could improve hand function in people recovering from a stroke. Fifty patients with subacute ischemic stroke were randomly assigned to receive either conventional therapy alone or conventional therapy plus the augmented cue training. Hand dexterity, grip strength, and pain sensitivity were measured before and after eight weeks of treatment.

What this could lead to
