一项新研究发现,加强残疾程度较轻的手臂有助于中风幸存者恢复手功能。 Strengthening the less-impaired arm helps stroke survivors regain hand function, a new study finds.

2026年2月2日JAMA Neurlogy发表的一份新研究发现,中风幸存者可以通过加强其较不易受伤的手臂,大大改善日常的手功能,挑战仅以受影响方为重点的传统康复方法。 A new study published in JAMA Neurology on February 2, 2026, finds that stroke survivors can significantly improve daily hand function by strengthening their less-impaired arm, challenging traditional rehab focused only on the affected side. 宾夕法尼亚州的研究人员对50多名慢性中风病人进行了研究,这些病人利用目标定向练习,包括虚拟现实任务,在5周的时间里训练了他们或多或少受到损伤的手臂。 Researchers at Penn State studied over 50 chronic stroke patients who trained either their more or less impaired arm for five weeks using goal-directed exercises, including virtual reality tasks. 训练其残疾程度较轻的手臂的人在速度和效率方面有了更大的提高,其好处至少持续6个月。 Those who trained their less-impaired arm showed greater gains in speed and efficiency, with benefits lasting at least six months. 结果表明, 改善通常被忽视的手臂功能可以导致更好的协调, 减少疲劳, 增加独立性, 这为长期中风恢复提供了有希望的新方法. The results suggest that improving function in the typically overlooked arm can lead to better coordination, reduced fatigue, and increased independence, offering a promising new approach to long-term stroke recovery.
