Smart glove therapy for arm weakness after brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a smart glove system that provides arm and hand exercises at home for people who had a brain injury (like a stroke) more than 3 months ago and have weakness on one side. The goal is to improve use of the affected arm without needing frequent hospital visits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 to 85 years old and had a brain injury (like a stroke) more than 3 months ago.
- One side of your body is weaker (hemiparesis) and you have trouble using that arm or hand.
- The stiffness in your affected wrist and fingers is mild (not severe).
- You can follow instructions and use a smart glove device (mini-mental score of 21 or higher).
- You do not have conditions like schizophrenia, dementia, or a major psychiatric disorder.
- Your affected arm has no open wounds, fractures, or severe pain that would prevent therapy.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a smart board therapy that you can do without in-person contact to help improve arm movement if you have weakness on one side from a stroke, brain injury, or tumor. It is for people who are at least 3 months past their diagnosis and can understand simple instructions.
This trial tests a high-tech glove that helps track and improve hand and arm movement after a stroke. It may be an option for people who had a stroke 1 to 6 months ago and have mild to moderate arm weakness.
This study tests a smart home-based upper limb rehabilitation program for people with stroke or spinal cord injury. It uses technology to help improve arm and hand movement.
This study tests a soft, wearable robot to help people who had a stroke regain hand and finger movement. It is designed for those whose stroke happened at least 6 months ago, who still have some muscle activity in their hand, and who can sit for short periods.
This trial tests if combining a soft robotic glove with thinking-based hand exercises helps stroke survivors regain hand movement better than exercises alone. If you had your first stroke 6 to 12 weeks ago and have some arm weakness, this study might be a fit.
This study tests a home-use glove (SaeboGlove®) that may help people who had a stroke grip and hold objects with their hand. It looks at how using the glove affects arm function and what factors help people stick with the program.
