Which splint works best for Stroke-Related wrist tightness?
NCT ID NCT07301606
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two types of wrist splints—static (non-moving) and dynamic (allowing some movement)—in 20 people who had a stroke and developed wrist stiffness. The goal was to see which splint better reduces muscle tightness and improves hand function. Participants wore the assigned splint and had their wrist spasticity measured before and after the treatment period.
