Drawing exercises vs fine motor training for hand recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of hand exercises to see which one helps you regain hand movement and control better after a stroke. It focuses on people in the sub-acute phase (early recovery) who have some voluntary hand movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 70 years old.
- You have had a stroke (either from a blocked blood vessel or bleeding) in the middle cerebral artery area of your brain, confirmed by a doctor.
