Summary

This study tested a wearable system that gently buzzes to remind stroke survivors to exercise their weaker arm during idle time, like when resting or watching TV. 42 people in early stroke recovery used the device to see if it increased arm activity and was easy to use. The goal is to help patients regain arm function without adding extra work for therapists.
