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.

- You are age 18 or older
- You can sign written consent and follow study instructions
- If you had a stroke, you are either admitted at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab or living in the community after a stroke
- If you are a healthy control, you have no known stroke history or major neurologic diseases
- You are not pregnant or nursing
- You do not have open skin wounds or skin irritation/allergies that affect sensor placement

This study uses a special monitor to track how stroke survivors use their arm during therapy. It tests if this technology can help improve rehabilitation outcomes.
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 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 new artificial intelligence tool designed to help doctors better understand and predict how well stroke patients will recover. You would be recorded performing simple tasks so the AI can learn to recognize patterns in stroke recovery.
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 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.
