This study is testing a device called the DESC-Glove—a special glove worn on your hand that provides gentle vibration feedback during hand rehabilitation exercises. Researchers want to see if this device, combined with standard rehabilitation therapy, helps people recover hand and arm movement better than rehabilitation alone after a stroke.
After a stroke, many people struggle to regain full control of their hands and arms. This trial exists to find out whether the DESC-Glove, which combines touch feedback with guided exercises, could be a better way to help the brain rewire itself and restore lost movement and feeling.

The trial has two parts. First, a small group of 5 patients will test the glove in 4 treatment sessions to make sure it works properly. Then, 42 more participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: wearing the DESC-Glove with vibration during exercises, wearing the glove without vibration, or doing standard rehabilitation without the glove. All participants will do hand and arm exercises, and researchers will track how well each approach helps with recovery.
