Training to strengthen your non-dominant hand
This study tests a therapy that combines imagining hand movements with watching videos of them, to see if it makes the non-dominant hand stronger in healthy people. If you join, you'll practice this technique to see if it improves your hand strength.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old
- You can see and hear normally (or with corrected vision/hearing)
- You have never had an arm, wrist, or hand injury or muscle/bone problem
- You have no nerve or brain conditions (like epilepsy or multiple sclerosis)
- You have never tried motor imagery therapy before (e.g., imagining movements)
- You must be right-handed, as this study looks at strengthening the non-dominant hand

This trial tests if combining brain stimulation with watching hand movements can improve hand function in people who had a stroke 6 to 24 months ago. It may help you regain better use of your affected hand.
This study tests whether non-invasive brain stimulation plus a hand/arm electrical stimulation device can improve how well your stroke-affected arm and hand move during therapy tasks. You would take part in screening and then receive these combined rehab approaches to see if motor control improves.
This trial tests whether combining mental imagery practice with a robotic hand device can help improve hand function in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. The robotic hand reads signals from your arm muscles to help you practice controlled movements.
This study looks at whether mental practice (imagining movements) and a therapy called motor imagery, along with visual scanning training, can improve arm and hand function in people who have had a right-brain stroke. You might benefit if you have trouble using your left arm and want to regain more control.
This trial tests if imagining arm movements (motor imagery training) can help improve arm strength in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It is a non-drug, mental practice approach that may help your brain relearn movement.
This study tests if mental imagery exercises can help improve upper body movement in people with Parkinson's disease. It may offer a safe, drug-free way to practice daily tasks.
