This study is testing whether Robot-Assisted Tai Chi Training can help people recover upper arm function better than conventional rehabilitation exercises after a stroke. You would be randomly assigned to either learn guided tai chi movements with robotic assistance, or do standard rehabilitation exercises. Both groups exercise for the same amount of time over 4 weeks, and researchers will measure how much your arm movement improves.
Many stroke survivors struggle to regain arm strength and coordination. This trial is exploring whether combining tai chi—an ancient practice known for balance and body awareness—with robotic guidance might be more effective at helping people recover arm function than traditional exercises alone.

You will attend therapy sessions 5 days a week for 4 weeks, with each session lasting 60 minutes. If you are in the robot-assisted tai chi group, you will work with a robotic device that guides your arm through tai chi movements to help improve coordination and strength. If you are in the standard therapy group, you will perform conventional exercises like stretching and repetitive movement practice. Researchers will test your arm function at the beginning and end using standard assessment tools.
