Arm exoskeleton rehab for chronic stroke weakness
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a wearable arm exoskeleton that uses your muscle signals to help rehab a weak arm after stroke. It may help improve arm movement by pairing training with this device, but you must meet specific movement, skin, and scan-safety requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18–89 years old.
- Your weaker arm weakness is from one stroke that happened at least 6 months ago.
- You can move your shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand enough to wear the device comfortably (including minimum shoulder motion).
- You can produce clear, repeatable muscle signals for the sensors (checked with software).
- Your muscle tightness score in key arm muscles is 3 or lower, and you do not have major shoulder problems like severe subluxation, dislocation, or fixed contractures.
- You can safely have MRI and TMS (noninvasive brain stimulation) and have no MRI safety blockers, seizure risk issues, or incompatible implanted devices.

This study tests a robotic arm brace (exoskeleton) to help people who recently had a stroke and have trouble moving their arm. The goal is to see if the device can improve arm movement and daily function.
This trial tests a wearable robotic device that helps move your arm after a stroke. It is designed for people with significant arm weakness to improve their upper limb function.
This trial tests a wearable robotic hand brace to help you move your arm and hand after a stroke. It is for people who are at least 6 months past their first stroke, have some arm strength, and can have a caregiver help with home exercises.
This trial tests a wearable robot that helps move your arm. It's for people recovering from a stroke or brachial plexus injury who still have some arm muscle strength but need extra support.
This trial tests a robotic device that helps move your arm and hand during rehabilitation, with the goal of improving elbow and hand function. You may be a good fit if you have certain nerve/spinal cord injury levels and can still make some finger and elbow muscle movements at the start.
This trial tests whether a powered wearable device (Myo-Pro) can help people with spinal cord injury improve arm and hand function for daily activities. It is designed for those who already have some arm movement and want to regain more independence.
