Researchers testing vibrating technology to help stroke patients

The video discusses spasticity, a common symptom after a stroke, characterized by severe muscle stiffness. Stanford researchers have developed a mechanical glove that uses vibro-tactile stimulation to alleviate spasticity. Clinical trials show the glove is as effective as Botox, offering a promising alternative treatment. The glove is not yet commercially available, but future trials aim to make it accessible within a few years.
