Robots help measure arm learning after a new stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses robotic devices to understand how your arm learns movement after a recent stroke. It may help researchers improve stroke rehabilitation by figuring out what kinds of practice work best.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re older than 18 years
- You had a first, one-sided ischemic stroke affecting the middle brain artery area
- You are about 7 days after your stroke (7 ± 6 days)
- You have an arm (upper limb) problem, with a specific range of arm movement scores (Fugl-Meyer 30–57)
- Your vision is good enough to see at least 20/50 with glasses or contacts
- You can follow instructions with 3 steps

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether brain stimulation and robotic/arm training can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke. It may help strengthen movement and coordination by targeting brain pathways related to arm control.
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 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 uses a safe brain-imaging technology called fNIRS to measure how your brain changes during arm recovery after stroke. The goal is to better understand how rehabilitation helps your brain reorganize and improve arm function.
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.
This study tests whether a robotic device can help improve arm strength, sensation, and function in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. The robot guides your arm through movements while sensors measure your brain activity and movement patterns.
