Robot-assisted arm therapy and exercise after stroke
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests if combining arm exercises with two types of robot-assisted therapy helps people who have had a stroke improve their arm movement, daily activities, and quality of life. It is designed for individuals with moderate arm weakness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke on one side of your body at least 3 months ago.
- Your affected arm has moderate weakness, not too mild or too severe (measured by a standard arm test).
- You do not have severe muscle tightness or stiffness in your arm or hand.
- You are between 20 and 75 years old.
- You can follow instructions and have no major memory or thinking problems.

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 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 study compares two styles of robotic training (focused more on the shoulder/upper arm versus the hand/wrist) plus movement games to improve arm function after a first stroke. It may help people regain more useful arm and hand movement through guided, repeatable practice.
This study uses a safe brain-imaging technology called fNIRS to measure how your brain changes during arm recovery after stroke. The goal is to better understand how rehabilitation helps your brain reorganize and improve arm function.
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 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.
