Arm recovery program for stroke survivors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to help stroke survivors improve arm and hand movement. If you had a stroke at least 6 months ago and have moderate arm weakness, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have had an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke at least 6 months ago
- Your arm movement is moderately limited (between 20 and 50 on a standard arm function test)
- You do not have severe stiffness or spasticity in your arm
- You are not currently receiving occupational therapy outside of this study

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether mental practice (imagining movements) and a therapy called motor imagery, along with visual scanning training, can improve arm and hand function in people who have had a right-brain stroke. You might benefit if you have trouble using your left arm and want to regain more control.
This study tests an intensive 6-week arm training program for people who had a first stroke 3 to 6 months ago and still have arm weakness. The goal is to see how the brain can recover arm function.
This study tests whether doing therapy with mirror training plus augmented reality (computer-generated prompts you see through a device) improves arm movement after a first stroke. You may be eligible if you had a stroke on one side and can safely follow instructions and do walking and standing tasks.
This study tests a home-based (telerehabilitation) program to help people practice arm movement after a recent stroke (or certain brain injuries). It may help improve arm function when started soon after symptoms begin.
This study tests whether advanced technology-based rehabilitation can help people who have had a stroke regain movement and use of their affected arm. It may be a good option if you have had a single stroke and still have some arm weakness but no severe muscle tightness or memory problems.
This study tests a new kind of arm exercise that uses a mirror to help your brain recover movement after a stroke. It may help you improve arm function if you have some movement already.
