Robotic training to improve movement after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old
- You must have a stroke and be in the right timing group (acute: >21 days, or chronic: >6 months)
- Your brain scan must show a stroke-related change (lesion)
- You must be able to follow instructions and understand basic directions
- You must be able to move the affected arm at least some (not complete paralysis)
- You can have MRI only if your body is MRI-safe and you can tolerate the scan

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at how the brain and arm work together after a stroke, comparing people who have had a recent stroke, people who had a stroke a while ago, and healthy people. It involves three sessions of movement tasks and may include an MRI scan. It could help understand how to improve therapy for stroke recovery.
This study looks at a therapy that helps people with a recent stroke relearn coordinated hand and arm movements. It compares how well motor skill learning works and may help improve functional use of the affected arm.
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.
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 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 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.
