Robot-assisted arm rehab at home after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a robot at home, with help from a carer, can improve arm movement after a stroke. It's for adults 21 to 90 years old who had a stroke at least 28 days ago and have moderate arm weakness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke (either from a clot or bleeding) confirmed by a doctor and brain scan.
- You are between 21 and 90 years old.
- It has been more than 28 days since your stroke.
- Your arm has some weakness but not too severe (score 10–60 on a standard arm movement test).
- You live in a stable home and have a family member or friend who can supervise your exercises.
- You can sit with support for one hour at a time.
- You score above 21 on a memory and thinking test (MOCA).
- You understand the research and can agree to join.
- You do not have other medical conditions that would make participation unsafe, like uncontrolled diabetes, heart disease, or active cancer.

This study tests new technologies to help people recover arm movement after a stroke. You would use special devices at home with a caregiver's help, and the team will see how well they work for you.
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-guided therapy program can help people regain arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. You may be able to join if you are within a month of a first stroke on one side and have specific levels of arm and hand recovery.
This study compares standard rehabilitation with therapy that uses robots and other digital tools to help people regain movement after a stroke. It's for people who had a first stroke within the last 6 months and have some arm, leg, or balance problems.
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 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.
