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.
