Game-based training using muscle signals after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether an EMG-controlled computer game can help retrain how your arm muscles activate after stroke. It may help improve upper-limb movement by practicing with real-time muscle feedback.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your stroke happened more than 6 months ago.
- You have moderate weakness or difficulty in one arm after stroke.
- You can understand and follow study instructions (enough thinking ability to participate and consent).
- You can see the full computer screen.
- Your upper limb rehab plans won’t change right now (no other arm therapy during the study).
- In the last 3 months, you have not changed upper-limb spasticity medicines or had botulinum toxin injections.
- You can voluntarily contract at least two different arm muscle groups.
- You do not have complete loss of feeling in the arm, and no other health problem is limiting your arm movement for this study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a virtual-reality training system that uses muscle signals to help people regain arm movement after a recent stroke. It may be an option if you had a stroke within the last 2 weeks and have arm weakness.
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 study uses a special muscle-sensing device to help people who had a stroke improve arm coordination. You will play movement games that guide you to use muscles more effectively, which may help you regain control.
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 an at-home program using gaming and hand exercises can improve arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. It may help you practice more comfortably at home with regular remote check-ins.
This trial tests whether a special video game, guided by artificial intelligence, can help people with mild memory and thinking problems after a stroke improve their thinking skills and daily activities.
