Testing a robotic arm for people with limited arm movement
This trial studies whether a robotic arm helper called ORTHOPUS Partner Arm can improve daily life for people who have trouble moving their arm. The robot gives extra support to make tasks easier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have weak or limited movement in your shoulder, elbow, or upper arm.
- Your arm muscles are between very weak and moderately strong (score 1 to 4 on a strength test), but your hand and wrist still work well enough to move.
- You still have some use of your hand and fingers on the weak arm.
- You are willing to sign a consent form (or your parent/guardian signs for you).
- You or a family member can be there to help set up the device and can take videos of you using it 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 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 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 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 tests whether a robotic device can help improve arm strength, sensation, and function in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. The robot guides your arm through movements while sensors measure your brain activity and movement patterns.
