This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a new wearable robotic device called an exoneuromusculoskeleton that helps people recover arm and hand movement after a stroke. The device is lightweight, comfortable to wear, and uses electrical stimulation combined with robotic support to help your muscles work better. Researchers want to see if using this device during rehabilitation works better than traditional physical therapy alone.
After a stroke, many people struggle to regain full use of their arms and hands, even with standard physical therapy. This trial exists to find out whether this new robotic device can help people recover better and faster by combining several advanced techniques in one system.

If you join this study, you will wear the robotic arm device during supervised rehabilitation sessions as part of your inpatient or outpatient care. Your progress will be measured before and after the training using standard clinical tests of arm strength and function. Depending on which group you are in, you may receive device-assisted rehabilitation, traditional therapy, or a combination of both.
