More arm practice may boost stroke recovery
NCT ID NCT06571292
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether increasing the amount of arm training helps people who had a stroke regain arm function. Twenty stroke survivors were split into two groups: one did 3 hours of training per week for 4 weeks, the other did 10 hours per week. Both groups used a robotic arm support and practiced everyday tasks. The study measured changes in arm movement and hand strength.
