Summary

This study tests whether arm therapy done online (telerehabilitation) works as well as the same therapy done in a clinic for people who had a stroke within the last 6 months. 28 participants will be split into two groups, each receiving Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy for 8 weeks. The goal is to see if the online option can improve arm function and reduce muscle stiffness, potentially making therapy more convenient.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) delivered via telerehabilitation or in a clinic
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that online therapy is as effective as in-person sessions, making rehabilitation more accessible for stroke survivors.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with only 28 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The therapy is demanding and may not work for all patients.
