Using sensors and a smartphone to help arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if wearing small sensors on your arm at home and using a smartphone app can help improve how you use your weaker arm after a stroke. It is designed for people who are at least a year past their stroke and want to take an active role in their recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 80 years old and had a stroke (either ischemic or hemorrhagic) more than 12 months ago.
- You can partially open your fingers and thumb, and bend your wrist back a little, from a fully closed fist.
- You use your affected arm less than you could — for example, you tend to use your good arm instead.
- You are comfortable using a smartphone and at least one app.
- You are not currently getting Botox injections in your arm or taking part in other experimental treatments.

This study tests a wrist-worn sensor that vibrates to remind you to use your weaker arm. It's designed for people who had a stroke 1 to 6 months ago and have some arm weakness, to help them use their affected arm more during daily activities.
This Phase 2 study tests a new wrist sensor system that tracks arm movement and gives feedback using a phone or tablet. It aims to improve daily use of the weaker (hemiparetic) arm in people with a prior stroke.
This study tests a smartphone app designed to help people who have had a stroke improve the use of their arm and hand. It may be a convenient way to support your recovery at home.
This trial tests a smartphone-based therapy (RGS) that uses AI to help people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago improve arm and hand movement. It's for those with mild to moderate arm weakness who can use a phone and sit during therapy sessions.
This study tests whether using smart technology can help people regain arm movement in the first month after a stroke. It may offer a new way to support recovery when started soon after the stroke.
This study tests a computer system that creates a personalised rehab plan for stroke patients. It aims to help you recover better using technology that adapts to your needs.
