Robotic arm training for stroke survivors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You had a stroke (caused by a blockage or bleeding) at least 6 months ago, but no more than 5 years ago.
- You have some weakness or difficulty moving one arm or hand because of the stroke.
- You have some ability to move your forearm and hand joints, even if limited.
- You are not currently in another arm or hand rehabilitation program.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 trial tests a vision-based system that detects your arm and posture during robot-assisted upper-arm therapy after a prior stroke. It may help the robot guide treatment more safely and accurately based on your movements and positioning.
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 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.
