RECRUITING

Wearable Device and Behavioral Support for Enhancing Arm Use After Stroke

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The goal of this study is to determine the effectiveness of behavioral support and feedback from a wearable device that senses arm movement in improving upper extremity function in a pilot, randomized controlled trial with chronic stroke patients
