Study Summary

This trial is testing a new way to improve movement ability for people who have had a stroke, by designing exercises specifically to address their individual movement errors.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who have had a stroke at least 8 months ago, affecting the primary motor cortex but still retain some shoulder and elbow movement. It's not suitable for those with severe medical issues, recent Botox in the arm, bilateral paresis, multiple strokes or lesions, severe sensory deficits, high spasticity preventing movement, cognitive impairments that affect task performance or those already in upper extremity rehab.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests how making mistakes during exercises can help improve arm function after a stroke. Participants will reach for targets using their affected arm while researchers track errors to tailor an exercise program aimed at enhancing recovery based on individual error patterns.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves physical exercises tailored to each participant's abilities and error patterns rather than medication or invasive procedures, side effects are minimal but may include muscle soreness or fatigue.
