Therapy to improve arm use after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a therapy plan that focuses on using your more-affected arm more often after stroke, plus added sensory activities. It may help improve how well you can move and use that arm in daily life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke at least 6 months ago
- You can do some active movement with your affected arm (specific minimum shoulder, elbow, and wrist/finger/thumb movements)
- Your baseline “arm use” score is low enough to qualify (Motor Activity Log score average under 2.5)
- You score 24 or higher on a brief memory/thinking test (Mini Mental State Exam)
- You can understand the study, answer the arm-use questions, and give informed consent
- You can travel to and attend treatment sessions in the lab setting

This study tests a therapy that focuses on using your weaker arm more after a stroke by “constraining” the better arm during training. It may help improve how you move and use your hand and wrist in daily life if you still have mild movement and can participate in clinic sessions.
This trial tests a self-supervised arm therapy program for people who had a stroke at least two weeks ago. It aims to improve use of the weaker arm through intensive practice at home.
This study tests a walking-focused therapy called constraint induced movement therapy (CI therapy) to improve walking after a stroke. It may help people walk faster and more safely by encouraging more use of the more affected side.
This study compares two therapies to help improve arm and hand function after a stroke. It aims to find which therapy works better for people with moderate arm weakness.
This study tests a digital therapy program to help people who have had a stroke improve arm and hand movement. It is for people who still have some arm function and can come to the lab often for 3 weeks.
This study tests a hands-on sensory training approach that uses signals from one sense to help your brain control your arm and hand after stroke. It may help improve grip and arm steadiness, especially for people who still have mild-to-moderate arm weakness more than 6 months after a stroke.
