First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is testing whether combining two types of electrical stimulation with a robotic arm trainer can help people who had a stroke at least six months ago improve their arm movement. 65 participants will receive 20 sessions over 4-7 weeks. The goal is to see if this approach can improve motor function and reduce muscle stiffness.
