One-hand versus two-hand training for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares learning arm movements with one hand versus both hands to see which method helps stroke patients recover better. It may help you improve arm function after a stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 90 years old.
- You had a stroke recently (2–21 days ago) or more than 6 months ago.
- You have only one stroke lesion (not multiple).
- You do not have severe communication or cognitive problems.
- You are able to move your affected arm a little (not fully paralyzed).
- For acute stroke patients: you can undergo an MRI (no metal implants, not claustrophobic, not pregnant).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at a therapy that helps people with a recent stroke relearn coordinated hand and arm movements. It compares how well motor skill learning works and may help improve functional use of the affected arm.
This trial looks at how the brain and arm work together after a stroke, comparing people who have had a recent stroke, people who had a stroke a while ago, and healthy people. It involves three sessions of movement tasks and may include an MRI scan. It could help understand how to improve therapy for stroke recovery.
This study tests two different types of arm exercises to see which one helps improve arm function better during early stroke recovery. It is for people who recently had a stroke on one side of their brain and are in the early stages of recovery.
This study tests whether a robotic training program can help people relearn arm and hand skills after a stroke. It also includes healthy volunteers to compare learning and movement changes.
This study tests a robotic rehabilitation program to help improve arm movement after an acute or chronic stroke (and separately studies people with transient global amnesia). It may help by measuring how well patients can learn and control movement during repeated robot-guided sessions.
This study compares two types of arm and hand therapy for people recovering from a stroke. It aims to see which approach helps improve arm function and daily living skills.
