Robot-assisted arm therapy after a recent stroke
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether robot-guided therapy can improve arm and hand recovery after a stroke. You may be a candidate if your stroke was recent and you still have certain levels of arm weakness and movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your stroke affected one side of your body (one arm/hand area is the focus), and it was ischemic or hemorrhagic
- Your stroke happened 1 to 12 months before you join the study
- Your arm and hand recovery level is in a certain range (Stage 2 to 4 on the study’s assessment)
- You should not have apraxia (trouble planning or using movements even when strength is present)
- You need enough thinking ability for the screening test (Mini Mental Status Exam score of 22 or higher)
- You must be able to sit in a chair for 3 hours at a time and your shoulder pain/arm stiffness must not be too severe

This study tests whether a robot-guided therapy program can help people regain arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. You may be able to join if you are within a month of a first stroke on one side and have specific levels of arm and hand recovery.
This study tests whether a robot-assisted therapy program can help people recover arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. If you had a stroke less than 3 months ago and have some weakness in your arm but can still move it a little, this trial may help you regain function.
This study tests if using a robot to help with arm exercises can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke less than 6 months ago. The therapy is for the weaker arm and aims to help you regain strength and control.
This study tests whether robot-assisted therapy can help improve arm and hand function in people who have had a stroke more than 3 months ago. The robot guides your arm through movements to help you regain strength and coordination.
This trial tests a robotic arm system that combines movement and thinking tasks to help people recover arm function after a first stroke. It is for people aged 40–80 who had a stroke within the last 2 weeks to 6 months and have some arm weakness but not too severe.
This study tests a robotic device that helps both arms work together to improve movement after a stroke. It may help people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago and have some arm weakness.
