Robotic arm help for people with limited arm movement
This trial tests a robotic arm called ORTHOPUS that helps people with reduced arm movement use their arm more independently in daily life. It might be a good fit if you have some arm movement but need extra support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have reduced movement in one or both arms.
- You have some arm strength (score 1 to 4 on a standard muscle test) in the shoulder and elbow, but can still use your hand and wrist.
- You can move your hand well enough to control the device.
- You agree to the trial, or if you are a minor, you and your guardians agree.
- A helper must be available for the setup visit, and you or your helper need a smartphone or tablet to record videos at home.

This trial tests a robotic device that helps move your arm and hand during rehabilitation, with the goal of improving elbow and hand function. You may be a good fit if you have certain nerve/spinal cord injury levels and can still make some finger and elbow muscle movements at the start.
This trial tests a wearable robotic device that helps move your arm after a stroke. It is designed for people with significant arm weakness to improve their upper limb function.
This trial tests a wearable robot that helps move your arm. It's for people recovering from a stroke or brachial plexus injury who still have some arm muscle strength but need extra support.
This trial tests whether a robotic trainer can help people do upper body exercises on their own. It may be a good fit if you can sit without back support and follow simple instructions.
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 trial tests a robotic device, PhiCube, to help improve arm movement and thinking skills in adults with conditions like stroke, Parkinson's, or mild memory problems. The goal is to see if using this device can help with everyday tasks.
