Pressure garments for hand stiffness after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests different pressure garments for the hand to see if they are safe, comfortable, and helpful for people who have had a stroke. It compares how well people stick with wearing them and any effects on hand movement and sensation.
