A new University of Utah clinical trial is comparing lab-based and home-based digital movement guidance technologies for chronic stroke survivors with mild-to-moderate upper limb impairment. With 60 participants and a primary focus on kinematic movement quality, this study could reshape how high-intensity stroke rehabilitation is delivered and accessed beyond the acute care setting.
