Brain training without moving: new study hopes to unlock stroke recovery
NCT ID NCT06230718
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how stroke survivors' arm muscles respond when they imagine or watch movements. Researchers measure tiny muscle signals in the wrist and fingers during these mental exercises. The goal is to understand which techniques best help the brain relearn movement after a stroke. About 28 participants will take part in three sessions to guide better physical and occupational therapy.
