ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07467785
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- This study wants to find out if a new home-based video therapy program helps people move their arms and hands better after a stroke. It also checks if the program is easy to use and if people like it.
- Who it's for
- The study is looking for 200 stroke survivors in Alberta who did not receive regular outpatient therapy after their stroke.

- Time commitment
- The study lasts 16 weeks, with testing at the beginning, middle, and end, plus a final interview.
