Read our Stroke research guide →This research study is looking at how your brain responds during a specific type of hand movement exercise called mirror movement. Researchers will use a special, non-invasive imaging technique called functional near-infrared spectroscopy to measure brain activity while you perform these movements. The goal is to better understand how the brain recovers and adapts after a stroke.
After a stroke, the brain must find new ways to control movement in the affected arm and hand. This study aims to map which brain areas activate during mirror movement exercises, which could help doctors design better rehabilitation therapies and predict recovery in future stroke patients.

You will visit the hospital's rehabilitation ward for assessment and testing. Researchers will explain the study fully and answer your questions before you sign a consent form. During the study, you'll wear a special imaging headset and perform hand movements — first normal movements, then mirrored movements of both hands — while the device measures your brain activity. The study involves about 25 participants total and focuses on understanding your brain's response to these specific exercises.
