Unilateral Versus Bilateral Task-specific Training on Motor Impairment, Upper Extremity Function, and Hand Dexterity in Post-Stroke Rehabilitation
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 13 Apr 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This randomized clinical trial will examine upper limb rehabilitation in individuals recovering from stroke. The study will compare unilateral and bilateral task-oriented training approaches to determine their relative effectiveness. Thirty-two medically stable participants with active shoulder movement and adequate cognition will be enrolled into two groups. Both groups will receive structured training for four weeks. Outcomes related to motor function and dexterity will be measured using standardized assessment tools. The aim is to identify the more effective strategy for improving upper extremity function after stroke.
