Testing a new robotic brace to help stroke survivors open their hand
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a wearable robotic device (ExoNET) that helps stroke survivors with hand weakness. It aims to see if the device is safe and helpful for people who had a stroke at least 8 months ago and still have trouble using their arm and hand.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 70 years old.
- You had only one stroke, and it happened at least 8 months ago.
- Your arm and hand are moderately to severely weak (you can't reach or grab easily).
- You can move your elbow and wrist when your arm is supported.
- You have some feeling in your hand and arm, and your stroke was in a specific part of the brain (cortical area).

This trial tests a wearable robotic hand brace to help you move your arm and hand after a stroke. It is for people who are at least 6 months past their first stroke, have some arm strength, and can have a caregiver help with home exercises.
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.
This study tests if a wearable robotic leg brace (an exoskeleton) can help people who have had a stroke walk better. It is for stroke survivors who are at least 6 months past their stroke and can already walk without help from another person.
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 whether a robotic hand device (exoskeleton) can help people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago improve hand movement. It may benefit those who still have some hand function but struggle to open their affected hand.
This trial tests if a robotic device can help improve arm function in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It looks at using robotic therapy on both arms.
