First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new type of mirror therapy to help people who have had a stroke regain movement in their arm and hand. The therapy uses a mirror to show the unaffected arm moving, which tricks the brain into thinking the affected arm is moving too. 81 participants will receive either this enhanced mirror therapy or standard rehabilitation to see which works better.
