Robotic hand therapy for chronic stroke arm recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a robotic therapy program can improve arm and hand function in people with stroke-related weakness. It focuses on people whose stroke is long enough ago and who still have some finger and rotation movement to safely use the device.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 80 years old
- Had a stroke that affected one side of your body 6 months to 5 years ago
- Have arm/hand weakness on one side, but still have some active movement in the wrist/hand rotation (pro-supination) and some finger movement
- Be able to understand and follow instructions during screening (simple 3-step commands)
- Not currently be doing other upper-limb (arm/hand) rehabilitation therapy during the study
- Have no major safety barriers: severe arm stiffness, major vision problems/neglect, major feeling/joint-position problems, or serious communication limits
- No recent or open injuries in the arm/hand (like open wounds, infection, or fractures within 3 months) and no severe pain or orthopedic limits

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests if a robotic device can help improve arm function in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It looks at using robotic therapy on both arms.
This trial tests a robotic system to help stroke survivors regain arm and hand movement. The goal is to see if robot-assisted therapy improves recovery compared to standard care.
This trial tests whether personalized robotic therapy delivered at home can help improve arm movement and function after a stroke. You would use a wearable robotic device at home with remote support from therapists.
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.
