IsoReach: A study on reaching after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to measure how people reach for objects, looking at differences between healthy adults and those who have had a stroke. The goal is to understand how stroke affects movement so better therapies can be developed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- If you have had a stroke, it must have been at least 8 months ago, and your stroke affected your movement on one side of your body.
- You must be able to move your shoulder and elbow at least a little.
- You cannot have had Botox in your affected arm in the last 4 months.
- You cannot have severe vision problems or other major health issues that would make it hard to do the tasks.

This trial tests a robotics-based training program that helps people practice reaching with both the arm and hand, using real-time visual guidance. It may help improve how smoothly and accurately you can reach after stroke.
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.
This trial tests a brain-computer interface system that helps people move their arm after a recent stroke. It might help improve arm strength and control.
This study uses a light-based brain scanner (fNIRS) to understand how stroke affects arm movement. It may help find new ways to improve rehab.
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.
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.
