Rehabilitation using the R3THA device for stroke patients

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the feasibility and usability of the Rehabilitation Technologies for Hand and Arm (R3THA) device for stroke rehabilitation. It focuses on outpatient telerehabilitation administered by trained clinicians to individuals who have experienced a stroke. Participants will engage with the device through interactive video games, allowing for a tailored rehabilitation experience. The study aims to determine how effectively the R3THA device can be integrated into home-based rehabilitation programs.
