Telerehabilitation vs clinic therapy for stroke arm recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of helping stroke survivors regain arm and hand function: therapy done remotely online versus in-person at a clinic. Both use a specialized approach called constraint-induced movement therapy, which encourages use of the weaker arm. The study aims to see which method works better for people in the first 6 months after stroke.

This study compares two levels of therapist-guided home exercises delivered via video calls to improve arm and hand function after a stroke. It may help you recover more movement in your affected arm.
This study tests a home-based therapy program delivered by video calls to help people recovering from a stroke improve arm function. It is designed for those with moderate arm weakness about 4 months after their stroke.
This trial compares two types of therapy—telehealth sessions at home versus in-person sessions—to help people recover arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. It aims to see if remote therapy works as well as coming to the clinic.
