Electric touch test could pave way for smarter stroke rehab
NCT ID NCT07656675
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will compare how young adults, older adults, and stroke survivors sense small electrical pulses on their skin. Researchers will measure the smallest changes in pulse frequency, strength, and timing that people can detect. The goal is to gather basic information to improve feedback systems used in rehabilitation after a stroke.
