First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two types of hand and arm therapy for people who had a stroke 3 to 6 months ago. One therapy involves restraining the good arm to force use of the affected arm, while the other focuses on using both arms together. Both groups also receive standard physical therapy. The goal is to see which approach better improves arm function and daily use.
