Stroke Clinical Trial in Columbus, OH

About This Stroke Study in Columbus

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how a partially self-supervised constraint-induced movement therapy (sCIMT) program in adults with arm and hand weakness will work after stroke. This study will look at whether the program can help people improve the use of their arm and hand after a stroke while requiring less time with a therapist. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the sCIMT program help people use their affected arm and hand better - after a stroke? * Do participants feel that the sCIMT program is useful, easy to follow, and a good fit for their recovery needs? * Does taking part in the sCIMT program improve participants' quality of life and daily well-being? Participants will: * Take part in a therapy program 5x/week for 2 weeks. The program is designed to help improve the use of the arm and hand affected by stroke. * Wear a mitt on the stronger hand during certain practice activities to encourage use of the weaker hand. * Complete surveys and tests before and after the program to measure arm and hand use, experiences with the program, and quality of life.
