Comparing two arm therapies for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two types of hand and arm therapy (CIMT and NDT) plus standard physical therapy to see which works better for stroke survivors. It may help you regain movement in your affected arm and improve daily function.
