Abstract
Background: Paralysis of the upper limb after stroke affects daily life. Our objective was to examine the clinical effects of our newly developed finger extension splint, which was made by specially processing a shape memory alloy, in a chronic stroke patient. Design: Comparison of the clinical effects of the splint use preand post-treatment. Patient: A 70-year-old man who developed right thalamus hemorrhage 15 years previously presented with right hemi-
