Summary

This study looked at whether training the less-affected arm in chronic stroke survivors could improve their ability to do daily tasks. 58 people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago took part in 15 training sessions over 7 weeks. The goal was to see if improving speed, coordination, and accuracy in the less-impaired arm would lead to greater functional independence.
