Robotic vibration therapy offers new hope for stroke Survivors' arm function

NCT ID NCT06663501

Summary

This study is testing whether a special therapy combining robotic arm training with gentle tendon vibrations can help improve arm and hand movement in people who had a stroke more than six months ago. Researchers think the vibrations might help the brain relearn how to control muscles by stimulating the body's natural sense of position. The study involves 40 participants and uses a machine to assist movement while applying vibrations to specific tendons.
