Brain zaps + robot hands: new combo therapy aims to restore stroke arm function

This study tests whether combining a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) with machine-assisted hand exercises can help stroke survivors regain arm and hand movement. Researchers will enroll 54 adults aged 40-80 who had a first stroke within the past year. Participants will receive the combined therapy and be assessed before, right after, and during follow-up to see if their motor skills improve.
