Video therapy boosts arm recovery in chronic stroke patients
NCT ID NCT06794749
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a therapy where chronic stroke patients watch simple arm and hand actions on a screen and then imitate them. The goal was to see if doing this via video calls (telerehabilitation) works as well as doing it in person. 26 patients with left-side weakness took part. The study measured arm movement, daily living skills, and quality of life.
