Summary

This study looked at 40 adults who had to wear a splint on their dominant hand for 6 weeks due to injury. Researchers wanted to see if being forced to use the non-dominant hand would improve its function. Participants performed hand tasks and filled out a questionnaire about daily activities. The goal was to understand how the brain adapts when the dominant hand is out of use.
