Using sensors to study stroke recovery in hospital and community
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses sensor recordings to learn how stroke recovery happens over time, including for people in the hospital and those living in the community. Your results may help improve future monitoring and rehabilitation after stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests if wearing small sensors on your arm at home and using a smartphone app can help improve how you use your weaker arm after a stroke. It is designed for people who are at least a year past their stroke and want to take an active role in their recovery.
This study looks at how much arm movement and exercise happens during stroke rehabilitation. It uses a special device to capture activity during therapy sessions, which may help improve recovery for people with arm weakness after a stroke.
This study checks if new guidelines for placing sensors on leg muscles work well in people who have had a stroke. It could help improve how we measure muscle activity during walking and other movements.
This study tests a wrist-worn sensor that vibrates to remind you to use your weaker arm. It's designed for people who had a stroke 1 to 6 months ago and have some arm weakness, to help them use their affected arm more during daily activities.
This trial tests whether wearing a smartwatch that tracks your walking and sends data to your care team can help you recover better after a minor stroke or a transient ischemic attack (TIA), sometimes called a mini-stroke. The goal is to see if this technology improves your daily activity and overall health during recovery.
This study tests whether wearing small activity monitors on both wrists for 3 days can better measure how stroke affects daily two-handed tasks. It aims to improve understanding of real-world arm function.
