Effects of a wearable hand orthosis on upper and lower limb motor recovery in stroke patients: a randomized controlled trial
The use of a wearable hand orthosis in self-directed training significantly improved upper limb motor recovery, balance, and ADL abilities in stroke survivors. The observed correlation between upper limb recovery and balance improvement indicates the potential of this orthosis to facilitate comprehensive rehabilitation.
