Robot-assisted therapy for chronic stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether robot-assisted therapy can help people who had a stroke at least 3 months ago improve their arm and hand function. It may be a good option if you are ready for rehab and do not have certain complications like severe hand stiffness or recent injections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- It has been at least 3 months since your stroke.

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 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 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 whether robot-guided therapy can improve arm and hand recovery after a stroke. You may be a candidate if your stroke was recent and you still have certain levels of arm weakness and movement.
This study tests whether a robot-guided therapy program can help people regain arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. You may be able to join if you are within a month of a first stroke on one side and have specific levels of arm and hand 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.
