Summary

This study tested three types of hand exercises in 81 people who had a stroke: sensory exercises, motor exercises, and a combination of both. The goal was to see which approach best improved hand strength, dexterity, and reaction time. Results suggest that combining sensory and motor exercises may offer more complete benefits for hand recovery.
