Robot therapy to improve arm movement after long-term stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a therapy robot (the Luna EMG rehabilitation robot) can improve arm movement and be acceptable to use for people with chronic stroke. It focuses on helping the arm recover function over time and seeing how well patients tolerate the approach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You had a first stroke more than 1 year ago, and you have weakness on one side
- You can do a reaching/pointing task about 90% of the way from your hand toward your shoulder, with your trunk free
- Your elbow muscle stiffness is mild to moderate (spasticity score 0–2 out of 4)
- You can get care through social security and can sign the written consent

This study tests if using a robot to help with arm exercises can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke less than 6 months ago. The therapy is for the weaker arm and aims to help you regain strength and control.
This trial tests if a robot can help people recovering from a first stroke improve arm and hand movement. It compares robot-assisted therapy to standard rehabilitation exercises.
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 whether a robot-assisted therapy program can help people recover arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. If you had a stroke less than 3 months ago and have some weakness in your arm but can still move it a little, this trial may help you regain function.
This study tests whether robot-guided therapy can improve arm and hand recovery after a stroke. You may be a candidate if your stroke was recent and you still have certain levels of arm weakness and movement.
This trial tests if a robotic device can help improve arm function in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It looks at using robotic therapy on both arms.
