ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Upper Limb Movement Quality Following Stroke," is studying how well people who have had a stroke can move their arms. The researchers want to see how daily arm movements relate to recovery and improvement in their overall condition. The trial is currently looking for participants aged 18 and older who were independent in their daily activities before their stroke and are now receiving treatment at the Adi-Negev Nahalat-Eran rehabilitation center.

To be eligible, participants must be medically stable and able to give their consent. However, those with certain other neurological conditions, serious psychiatric issues, or severe physical limitations may not qualify. If you join this study, you can expect to monitor your arm movements over time and help researchers understand how these movements relate to recovery after a stroke. Your participation could contribute to better treatment options for stroke recovery in the future.
