Progressive Abduction Loading Therapy (NCT04118998)
Progressive Abduction Loading Therapy: A Phase IIb Stroke Rehabilitation Trial With Longitudinal Tracking
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study attempts to minimize the development of a common movement impairment following stroke known as "flexion synergy" that makes it extremely difficult to reach outward with the arm. Participants with acute/subacute stroke will receive one of two study interventions in addition to prescribed therapies in both inpatient rehabilitation and day-rehab. Participants will be followed for 1 year.
