ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the use of a device called IVS3 to help improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke. The researchers want to see how satisfied participants are with the treatment and how well it helps them regain function in their upper limbs. They believe that using the IVS3 device will be a safe and effective way for patients to receive therapy in an outpatient setting, which means they can go home after their sessions instead of staying in a hospital.

To join the study, participants need to be at least 18 years old, speak English, and have had a stroke at least six months prior. They should have some difficulty using their arm or hand, but not too severe. People who have certain conditions, like severe muscle stiffness or significant vision problems, won't be eligible. If you join, you can expect to use the IVS3 device as part of your therapy and share your thoughts about how it's working for you. This study is currently looking for participants, and anyone interested should consider whether they meet the criteria and if they want to take part.
