Plain-language summary
The study aims to compare the effects of dorsal-double-layered 10% circumferential reduction (DD-10), single-layered 10% circumferential reduction (S-10), and single-layered no circumferential reduction (S-0) pressure garments on sensorimotor functions, including motor control, dexterity, muscle tone, pain, self-perceived upper extremity function, and quality of life among stroke patients during the 8 weeks of application (Time 1: Baseline, Time 2: Week 4, Time 3: Week 8).
