NCT ID NCT07468149
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new rehab system called Rehabotics that uses a robotic hand aid and augmented reality games to help people who had a stroke regain hand movement and reduce muscle tightness. 80 stroke survivors with hand spasticity took part. The system tracks progress and aims to make therapy more personalized and engaging.
