Tracking arm exercises during stroke rehabilitation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how much arm movement and exercise happens during stroke rehabilitation. It uses a special device to capture activity during therapy sessions, which may help improve recovery for people with arm weakness after a stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had a stroke (either your first one or a repeat) confirmed by a CT or MRI scan.
- You have arm weakness, specifically limited movement in your shoulder and fingers.
- You are able to make your own decisions about joining the study.
- You are expected to have at least one session of arm therapy during your care.
- You are not receiving palliative care and are not expected to have a very short life expectancy.

This study tests a digital therapy program to help people who have had a stroke improve arm and hand movement. It is for people who still have some arm function and can come to the lab often for 3 weeks.
This trial tests a home-based exercise program to help people with chronic stroke improve arm and hand function. You would do exercises with a webcam, supervised remotely by a therapist.
This study tests if wearing small sensors on your arm at home and using a smartphone app can help improve how you use your weaker arm after a stroke. It is designed for people who are at least a year past their stroke and want to take an active role in their recovery.
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 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 a robotic arm brace (exoskeleton) to help people who recently had a stroke and have trouble moving their arm. The goal is to see if the device can improve arm movement and daily function.
