Summary

This study tested a wearable device that gently reminds stroke survivors to exercise their weaker arm during idle time in early recovery. 42 participants in an inpatient rehab unit used the device, which tracked arm activity and provided cues. The goal was to see if this low-cost approach could increase arm use without adding extra work for therapists.
