ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new device called the WPM-SEMG-V2, which is designed to measure muscle activity in both healthy individuals and patients who have had a stroke. The researchers want to see how well this device works and how the information it gathers can help in the rehabilitation process for stroke patients. Participants will wear the device while doing simple hand or leg exercises, allowing the researchers to collect important data about muscle function.

To join the study, healthy volunteers need to be at least 18 years old and willing to perform the exercises. They should also be able to understand the study and give their consent. For stroke patients, eligibility includes being at least 18 years old and having experienced a first-time stroke, while also meeting certain health criteria. Participants can expect to take part in exercises while wearing the device, and they will be helping to advance our understanding of stroke rehabilitation.
