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

Summary

This study compares two rehabilitation methods to improve finger movement in 40 people who had a stroke. One method encourages using any strategy to reach goals, while the other focuses on improving movement technique. Participants will do 10 days of piano training and have brain scans to see how the brain adapts, helping researchers understand which approach works best for different people.
