Read our Stroke research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers are investigating whether two brain-based techniques—imagining arm movements and watching others perform them—can help stroke survivors recover better use of their hands and wrists. These methods are based on how the brain naturally learns by watching and imagining. The study will measure muscle activation using sensors placed on the skin to see how the brain responds to these exercises.
Stroke often damages the part of the brain that controls arm and hand movement, making everyday tasks like buttoning clothes or picking up objects very difficult. This research aims to understand whether these newer rehabilitation methods could become standard tools to help more stroke survivors regain independence and quality of life.

You will attend three sessions at the University of Salamanca where researchers will attach small sensors to your forearm to measure muscle activity. In each session, you will try three different activities: rest (the control), imagine making fist and finger movements, and watch videos of hand movements. Each session takes a few hours, and researchers will also ask you questions about your daily activities and quality of life to see if these exercises help.
