MyHand 2 Trial Summary

This trial is to test and improve a device called MyHand, which helps people with reduced hand function after a stroke.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who had a stroke at least six months ago and now have weakness in one hand, making daily tasks hard. They must be able to move their fingers fully, follow directions well, and control the upper part of the affected arm. People with other brain or nerve conditions or other issues with that arm can't join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The MyHand device is being tested to see if it helps improve hand function in stroke patients. The study involves refining this assistive technology based on feedback from earlier tests to make it more effective and user-friendly.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves a non-invasive device designed to aid hand movement post-stroke, side effects may include discomfort while using the device or fatigue due to therapy exercises but are generally expected to be minimal.

I visited as part of a cardiac rehabilitation program. Dr. Stein and his assistant/secretary Kathleen were very kind and hospitable. It was easy to schedule an appointment, and Dr. Stein took his time examining me. The visit went smoothly overall.
