Summary

This study tests a new way to help people who have had a stroke regain arm movement. It uses a virtual reality system that reads muscle signals and helps the person move a virtual hand, gradually reducing assistance to retrain the brain. The study also adds mild brain stimulation to boost learning. About 45 adults with mild to moderate arm weakness after a first stroke will take part.
