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

Summary

This study compares two physical therapy approaches—Rood's techniques (using touch, stretch, and ice) and PNF patterns (diagonal movements)—to improve arm and hand function in people who recently had a stroke. 28 adults aged 40-60 with a first-time stroke will receive one of the two therapies three times a week for eight weeks. The goal is to see which method better reduces stiffness and improves movement.
