In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Background: Most patients suffer from post-stroke somatosensory and motor impairments, and 50% to 70% of patients in the chronic stage still have upper extremity impairments that severely limit their functional independence and quality of life. Somatosensory and motor functions are closely related to each other. Previous evidence showed that somatosensory training or stimulation can modulate motor performance and enhance the efficacy of motor training, and motor training has the potential to promote the reorganization of the somatosensory cortex and enhance somatosensory-motor integration. Therefore, combining somatosensory and motor training may optimize the recovery of upper limb function. However, due to the small number of relevant empirical studies and the low quality of evidence, the effects and neural mechanisms of combined somatosensory and motor training compared with pure somat
