Finger Movement Training After Stroke

This study is testing two ways to improve hand function after a stroke: the Actuated Virtual Keyboard (AVK) system and traditional Occupational Therapy (OT). The AVK system uses a virtual keyboard where you control an avatar hand with your own finger movements, getting visual and sound feedback. We are looking for people aged 21 and older who had a single stroke 2 to 18 months ago and have mild to moderate hand weakness. The main goal is to see how much your hand function improves after the intervention, measured by a test called the Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test (JTHFT). The study aims to enroll 36 participants, but its current status is unclear.

Study design
This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific treatment. It plans to enroll 36 participants.
What's involved
Participants will be involved in a 5-week intervention that includes 15 training sessions.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Hand function will be measured immediately after the intervention.
