Stroke patients play games to heal their arms
NCT ID NCT06778525
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether playing special rehabilitative games (SmartPose) could help stroke survivors recover arm and hand function. 34 people who had an ischemic stroke took part. One group did standard therapy plus SmartPose games, while the other did only standard therapy. The goal was to see if the games led to better movement, strength, and feeling in the affected arm.
