Robotic arm training with visual feedback after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a robotics-based training program that helps people practice reaching with both the arm and hand, using real-time visual guidance. It may help improve how smoothly and accurately you can reach after stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are about 8 months or more after your stroke
- Your affected (arm) strength and movement fall in a moderate range (FMUE 15–50)
- When your arm is supported, you can bend and straighten your shoulder and elbow to reach forward and up/down over about 30 cm
- You do not have severe muscle stiffness that blocks elbow movement (MAS 4 or higher)
- You can see the target during testing and can hold the required body position
- You have not had Botox in the affected upper arm in the last 4 months, and you are not doing other arm rehab trials/therapy during the study

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study tests a robotic device called BurtVision to help people who had a stroke regain arm and hand movement, using fun interactive games. It is designed for people with lasting arm weakness and aims to improve their ability to use their arm in daily life.
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 a robotic training program can help people relearn arm and hand skills after a stroke. It also includes healthy volunteers to compare learning and movement changes.
This study tests a robotic rehabilitation program to help improve arm movement after an acute or chronic stroke (and separately studies people with transient global amnesia). It may help by measuring how well patients can learn and control movement during repeated robot-guided sessions.
