SiMPLe (Stroke) - Clinical Trial

¿Cuál es el Propósito de este estudio?

We are doing this study to learn more about the connection between the brain and leg muscles in people who have chronic stroke. We want to understand how this connection affects the walking abilities of chronic stroke patients so we can provide better help to stroke patients who need to improve their motor function.

¿Cuál es la Condición que se está estudiando?
