Training a device to help control a prosthetic or brace after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at improving how a device senses and helps control a prosthetic limb or an orthotic brace for people living with stroke effects. It may help you move and use a device more smoothly, but you must meet specific stroke timing and ability requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had your first stroke that was caused by a bleed (hemorrhagic) or a blocked blood vessel (ischemic)
- Your stroke happened at least 6 months ago
- You still have weakness on one side of the body from the stroke
- Your other (non-weak) arm can move enough to complete the study tasks
- You are not currently incarcerated

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a “human–machine” leg exoskeleton system to help people with stroke improve standing and walking during rehab. You may be able to participate if you have certain levels of disability and spasticity, can safely stand and walk with help, and don’t have skin, joint, or medical issues that would make training unsafe.
This study tests whether non-invasive brain stimulation plus a hand/arm electrical stimulation device can improve how well your stroke-affected arm and hand move during therapy tasks. You would take part in screening and then receive these combined rehab approaches to see if motor control improves.
This study tests whether combining robotic therapy with dual-task exercises (doing two things at once) can improve movement and daily function for people recovering from a stroke. It aims to help you regain strength and coordination in your affected arm or leg.
This study tests a robotic rehabilitation program to help improve arm movement after an acute or chronic stroke (and separately studies people with transient global amnesia). It may help by measuring how well patients can learn and control movement during repeated robot-guided sessions.
This trial compares robot-assisted training to standard training to help people with stroke improve their walking and movement. It is for people who are at least 6 months past their stroke and still have moderate to severe disability.
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.
