Simple arm moves may quickly ease Stroke-Related muscle stiffness
NCT ID NCT06272175
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how two types of arm exercises—open and closed kinetic chain activities—affect muscle tightness and hand skill in people who had a stroke. Thirty stroke survivors with arm weakness did one type of exercise, and their muscle stiffness and dexterity were measured right before and after. The goal was to see which exercise type gives faster relief and better hand control.
