This study tests two hand exercises together: nerve gliding (gentle movements to keep nerves moving smoothly) and grip strengthening (squeezing a ball or device). It aims to see if these exercises can improve hand grip strength in healthy people.
This trial tests whether a robotic glove can improve quality of life, grip strength, and fine motor control in people with ALS. If you have trouble with hand strength or dexterity, this device may help you regain some function.
This study tests if using a blood flow restriction band on your arm during exercise can improve grip strength more than exercise alone. It is for healthy adults aged 18 to 35 who want to see if this safe, supervised training can boost their hand and arm strength.
This trial tests a soft robotic glove that helps you grip and hold objects if your hand is weak due to a nerve problem or injury. It's meant for people who have trouble with daily tasks like eating or dressing.
This study tests a hands-on sensory training approach that uses signals from one sense to help your brain control your arm and hand after stroke. It may help improve grip and arm steadiness, especially for people who still have mild-to-moderate arm weakness more than 6 months after a stroke.
This study checks how hand grip strength changes when you hold your shoulder in different positions. It helps understand normal strength patterns in older adults, which can guide future treatments.
