Telerehabilitation for Post-Stroke Hand Function
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 15 Oct 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This pilot randomized controlled trial will evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effects of a home-based, technology-enabled hand telerehabilitation program for adults with chronic stroke. Participants will receive either remotely guided hand training or a standard home exercise program matched for duration and intensity. Outcomes will include measures of hand function, adherence, and feasibility to assess the potential of telerehabilitation for improving access to structured post-stroke hand rehabilitation.
