Hand and arm exercises for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a dual-task (doing two things at once) to a standard arm and hand exercise program helps stroke survivors improve better than standard exercises alone. It could help you regain more use of your arm and hand.
