Stroke recovery study: wrist sensor to boost arm use
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had an ischemic stroke (from a clot) in the front part of your brain, 1 to 6 months ago.
- You have weakness on one side of your body, especially in your arm and hand.
- You own a smartphone (iPhone or Android) and are comfortable using it.
- You can understand and follow simple instructions, like a 3-step command.
- Your arm weakness is at a moderate level — not too mild and not too severe.

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 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.
This study tests whether wearing small activity monitors on both wrists for 3 days can better measure how stroke affects daily two-handed tasks. It aims to improve understanding of real-world arm function.
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 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 study tests a soft elbow brace and a vibrating armband to help people with stroke or Parkinson's disease improve arm movement. It's designed for people with mild-to-moderate arm weakness.
