Turning stroke recovery into a game: can a knob controller restore hand dexterity?

This trial tests whether adding self-administered hand therapy at home, using a videogame controller called the Twirlstone, can improve hand dexterity and coordination in stroke survivors. Participants, who are within six weeks of a stroke and have arm or hand weakness, will either receive standard care alone or standard care plus the gaming therapy. The study measures changes in finger dexterity and arm-hand function to see if this playful approach can boost recovery.
