Robot-assisted arm and hand rehab after recent stroke
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had your first stroke affecting only one side of your body (either bleeding or blocked blood vessel).
- Your stroke happened less than 1 month ago.
- Your arm recovery level is in the early to mid range (stage 1 to 4).
- Your hand recovery level is also in the early to mid range (stage 1 to 4).
- You do not have apraxia (a problem planning or carrying out learned movements).
- You can sit in a chair for 3 hours at a time and have enough thinking ability for testing (Mini-Mental Test score 22 or higher).

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.
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 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 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 compares standard rehabilitation with therapy that uses robots and other digital tools to help people regain movement after a stroke. It's for people who had a first stroke within the last 6 months and have some arm, leg, or balance problems.
