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 specialized rehabilitation approach called Modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (m-CIMT) to help people recover arm and hand function after an ischemic stroke. The approach involves restricting the use of your unaffected arm while doing intensive physical therapy on the arm affected by the stroke. Researchers want to see whether this focused method helps people regain strength and movement better than standard care.
After a stroke, many people struggle to regain use of their arm and hand. This trial exists to test whether this intensive, focused therapy approach can help people recover better function during the critical early days after stroke when the brain is most able to heal.

If you are selected, you would participate in the study for 7 days while in the hospital. Each day, your unaffected arm would be gently restricted for 3 hours to encourage you to use your affected arm, and you would attend one specialized physical therapy session focused on rebuilding strength and movement in the arm affected by your stroke. You would be randomly assigned to either this intensive therapy approach or standard rehabilitation care to see which works better.
