In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Hemiplegia, or paralysis of one side of the body, often results from stroke and severely limits arm function. Standard physiotherapy helps, but recovery is often slow. This study tests if adding a wearable vibratory device to standard therapy improves arm movement better than standard therapy alone. Thirty patients with subacute stroke (3-6 months) will be split into two groups. One group will receive usual physiotherapy, while the other will receive usual physiotherapy plus the vibratory device for 8 weeks. Doctors will measure changes in spasticity (muscle stiffness), motor function, and daily independence before and after treatment.
