Art therapy for movement recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.

It is designed for people in the subacute phase (2 weeks to 3 months after their first stroke) who have mild to moderate physical challenges and can actively participate in creative activities.
