Robotic arm sleeve for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a wearable robotic device that helps move your arm after a stroke. It is designed for people with significant arm weakness to improve their upper limb function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Has had a stroke within the last 2 weeks to 6 months, or at least 6 months ago
- Can sit up for at least 1 hour
- Has moderate to severe arm weakness (score less than 30 on a specific arm function test)
- No severe muscle tightness in the elbow, wrist, or fingers
- Able to perform a simple thinking and memory test (score above 21 on the MMSE)
- Not pregnant, without a pacemaker, and not currently in other arm therapy studies

This trial tests if combining two types of electrical stimulation with a robotic device can help improve arm movement in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It may be a good option if you have some movement in your arm but not full strength.
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 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 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-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.
