Effectiveness of Soft Robotic Glove Versus EMS on Hand Function and Quality of Life in Stroke Survivors (RCT)
Effectiveness of Soft Robotic Glove Versus EMS on Hand Function and Quality of Life in Stroke Survivors. A Randomized Clinical Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 18 Dec 2024
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of soft robotic gloves versus electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) in improving hand function and quality of life in stroke survivors. Stroke often leads to impaired hand mobility, impacting daily activities and reducing overall quality of life. Soft robotic gloves, designed to assist with hand movement, will provide mechanical support and encourage voluntary muscle activity. EMS, on the other hand, will stimulate muscle contraction through electrical impulses, potentially enhancing muscle strength and coordination.
