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 how motor imagery (thinking about moving) and neglect relate to arm recovery after a stroke. It may help patients who had a right-brain stroke and can already move their hand and fingers.
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 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.
