Robots and zaps: new combo therapy aims to rebuild Stroke-Damaged arms

NCT ID NCT05854485

Summary

This study tested a new rehabilitation program to improve arm and hand function in people living with long-term effects of a stroke. Researchers compared a combined therapy using a robot and gentle electrical muscle stimulation against therapy using just the robot. The goal was to see if the combined approach led to better recovery of movement, strength, and the ability to perform daily tasks.
