First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares digital mirror therapy using augmented reality to conventional mirror therapy for improving arm function in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. 44 participants will receive 10 sessions over 21 days. The goal is to see if the digital version leads to better movement and muscle control, and to understand what helps or hinders patients from using the technology.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a more engaging and effective way to improve arm movement after stroke, potentially leading to better recovery and daily function.
