Robotic therapy with games for arm recovery after stroke
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares two styles of robotic training (focused more on the shoulder/upper arm versus the hand/wrist) plus movement games to improve arm function after a first stroke. It may help people regain more useful arm and hand movement through guided, repeatable practice.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your stroke is your first one, and it happened at least 3 months ago
- You are between 20 and 80 years old
- Your arm movement score is between 18 and 56 (Fugl-Meyer upper arm test)
- Your affected arm muscles are not too stiff (spasticity score is less than 3)
- You can understand instructions and follow commands (mental test score 22 or higher)
- You can stand with support for at least 30 seconds and walk at least 10 meters

This study tests if combining arm exercises with two types of robot-assisted therapy helps people who have had a stroke improve their arm movement, daily activities, and quality of life. It is designed for individuals with moderate arm weakness.
This trial tests if a robot can help people recovering from a first stroke improve arm and hand movement. It compares robot-assisted therapy to standard rehabilitation exercises.
This study tests whether playing video games that involve movement (exergaming) or using a robotic arm device can help improve arm function and reduce inflammation after a stroke. It may be a good fit if you are ready to start therapy and can sit up and watch a screen.
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 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 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.
