Comparing two arm exercises after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests two different types of arm exercises to see which one helps improve arm function better during early stroke recovery. It is for people who recently had a stroke on one side of their brain and are in the early stages of recovery.
