Combined Aphasia and Robot-Assisted Arm Treatment for Chronic Stroke Survivors
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Stroke, Aphasia Following Cerebral Infarction, Hemiparesis After Stroke
In brief
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a program that combines language and arm treatment can improve language and movement problems in people with chronic stroke. The mains questions it aims to answer are: * To determine the extent to which this combined treatment can improve language. * To determine the extent to which the combined treatment can improve arm movements. Researchers will compare the effects of this combined treatment with treatment that targets arm movements alone.
