Lifescapes system for hand recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a device called Lifescapes that may help improve hand function after a stroke. It is for people who have moderate to severe weakness in one arm and hand, and it aims to see if using this system can aid in recovery.
