Grip glove gives stroke patients a helping hand at home
NCT ID NCT06312631
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a home grip assistance glove (SaeboGlove) to help stroke survivors use their weaker arm in everyday tasks. About 100 adults who had a stroke more than three months ago and have trouble opening their hand will try the glove at home. Researchers will compare how well they perform daily activities with and without the glove to see if it improves function and independence.
