Summary

This study tests whether playing interactive games on a smart tablet can improve hand dexterity and strength in people who have had a stroke. Forty chronic stroke patients will either do tablet hand exercises plus standard physical therapy, or standard therapy alone. The goal is to see if the tablet games lead to better hand function and daily use.
