Soft glove helps stroke survivors regain hand function
NCT ID NCT07327151
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a soft rehabilitation glove could improve hand movement and daily activities in people who had a stroke more than three months ago. Thirty-four participants used the glove for 20 minutes a day, five days a week, for three weeks, alongside standard therapy. The glove helps with finger movements, grasping, and tasks like eating and brushing hair. The goal was to see if it makes daily life easier.
