Summary

This study tested a new rehab program for people who had a stroke at least six months ago. It combined a robotic arm trainer with mild electrical pulses to the muscles. The goal was to see if this combo works better than the robot alone for improving arm movement and function. 24 adults took part, and the researchers measured smoothness, speed, and range of motion.
