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 study looks at how early brain imaging and careful arm/leg movement tests can help recovery after certain strokes. If you had a stroke affecting the motor pathway, this may help researchers better understand what predicts improvement.
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 study uses robotic tools to test vision and body awareness in people who have had a stroke. The goal is to understand how stroke affects these abilities, which could help improve future treatments.
This trial tests a virtual task called the 'Eggs Test' to see if it can help measure hand and arm function after a stroke. It may help people who are at least 2 weeks past their first stroke and can move their arm enough to do the task.
This study follows how stroke survivors’ arm feeling (sensory) and movement (motor) recover over time. It may help clinicians better understand recovery patterns in Asian patients and improve rehabilitation support.
