Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study tests whether slow or fast electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) works better to improve arm movement in people recovering from a stroke. Participants will receive TENS on their weak arm three times a week for eight weeks. The results will help find the best TENS setting to support stroke recovery.
