Summary

This study tests whether wearable robotic gloves and virtual reality exercises can improve hand and arm function in people who have had a stroke. About 42 adults aged 30-60 with lasting hand weakness will be randomly assigned to standard therapy, therapy with a robotic glove, or therapy with VR-based hand games. The goal is to see which approach best helps patients regain independence in daily tasks.
