Exergame and robotic therapy for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether playing video games that involve movement (exergaming) or using a robotic arm device can help improve arm function and reduce inflammation after a stroke. It may be a good fit if you are ready to start therapy and can sit up and watch a screen.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke (either from a clot or bleeding in the brain).
- Your health is stable, and you haven't had any other treatments for your stroke yet.
- You can watch TV from about 3 feet away (with or without glasses).
- You can understand what the study is about and agree to take part.
- You don't have seizures, severe memory problems, uncontrolled pain, or trouble sitting up on your own.

This trial tests a robotic system to help stroke survivors regain arm and hand movement. The goal is to see if robot-assisted therapy improves recovery compared to standard care.
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 trial tests whether personalized robotic therapy delivered at home can help improve arm movement and function after a stroke. You would use a wearable robotic device at home with remote support from therapists.
This study tests a home-based video game program designed to help people with stroke improve arm and hand movement. If you have some movement in your affected arm and can use a computer, this trial may help you regain function through engaging, game-like exercises.
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 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.
