Study Summary

This trial focuses on how strokes can affect a person's ability to use their hands and manipulate objects due to brain damage. Research suggests that improving tactile sensation can help enhance motor skills and overall performance in stroke

Who is the study for?
This trial is for stroke survivors who are experiencing hemiplegia, which means they have difficulty moving one side of their body. The study aims to help those who struggle with hand movements and sensation due to brain damage from a stroke.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests the effectiveness of Sensory Re-education Strategies (SRS) on improving hand function and sensation. Participants will undergo assessments like the Semmes Weinstein Monofilament Assessment for touch sensitivity, Sensory Threshold testing, and the Nine Hole Peg Test for dexterity.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive sensory assessments and re-education strategies rather than medication or surgery, there are minimal expected side effects. Some participants might experience fatigue or frustration during challenging tasks.
