Wrist sensor app to help use the weaker arm at home
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests a new wrist sensor system that tracks arm movement and gives feedback using a phone or tablet. It aims to improve daily use of the weaker (hemiparetic) arm in people with a prior stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 18 to 85 years old.
- You had a stroke caused by blocked blood flow, at least 6 months ago and no more than 5 years ago.
- You have weakness on one side of an arm (not both), with moderate ability at screening.
- You can understand instructions and follow a 3-step command, and you have no major thinking or memory problems.
- You’re comfortable using a tablet or smartphone.
- You do NOT have severe arm stiffness, major vision problems, or trouble noticing one side of space when looking at the screen.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a wrist-worn sensor that vibrates to remind you to use your weaker arm. It's designed for people who had a stroke 1 to 6 months ago and have some arm weakness, to help them use their affected arm more during daily activities.
This study tests if wearing small sensors on your arm at home and using a smartphone app can help improve how you use your weaker arm after a stroke. It is designed for people who are at least a year past their stroke and want to take an active role in their recovery.
This study tests whether wearing small activity monitors on both wrists for 3 days can better measure how stroke affects daily two-handed tasks. It aims to improve understanding of real-world arm function.
This trial tests a hand training system that may help improve hand and arm movement after a stroke. If you have had a stroke and have trouble using your hand, this study might be able to help you regain some function.
This trial tests a new device that combines sensor and muscle signals to help you control wrist and hand movements after a stroke. It aims to improve your coordination and function.
This trial tests a wearable device and training task to help improve how stroke-affected arm muscles work together. It may help reduce unwanted “extra muscle effort” and improve control in people with recent or long-term stroke.
