Arm therapy for chronic stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests two types of arm movement therapy—constraint-induced and bilateral training—to see if they help people who have had a stroke and still have some arm weakness. It is for adults who are in the chronic stage (at least 6 months after stroke) and have normal memory and thinking skills.
