Robotic glove plus zaps may restore hand movement in stroke survivors
NCT ID NCT07282938
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using a soft robotic hand together with electrical stimulation can help stroke survivors regain hand movement faster than using either therapy alone. About 64 adults who had a stroke 3-6 months ago will receive 40-minute sessions three times a week for 8 weeks. Researchers will measure grip strength, dexterity, and daily function before, during, and after treatment.
