First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether different practice conditions help stroke survivors learn to use their more affected arm. Twenty-eight participants with arm weakness after a stroke practiced a scooping task over two days. Researchers measured how well they performed the task immediately after training and one day later to see which practice method worked best.
