Robotic therapy with games for arm recovery after stroke
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma 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 study tests if combining robotic therapy with mirror therapy can help improve arm function after a stroke. It is for people who had their first stroke 3 months to 2 years ago and have some but not full arm movement.
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 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 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.
This trial studies whether giving robotic therapy to the shoulder and arm in a “priority” way (instead of focusing on the hand first) helps improve arm movement in people with chronic stroke. It may help by improving how your arm muscles and joints are trained to work together.
