Robotic arm therapy vs. standard therapy for chronic stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares two types of arm therapy for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago: one using a robotic device and the other using standard occupational therapy (exercises with a therapist). The goal is to see which helps more with arm movement and function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke (either from a clot or bleeding) at least 6 months ago.
- Your affected arm is weak but not completely paralyzed (you have some movement).
- Your wrist and hand are not too stiff to straighten out.
- You don't have other serious arm problems like arthritis, nerve damage, or recent injury on the same side.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if a robotic device can help improve arm function in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It looks at using robotic therapy on both arms.
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 if using a robot to help with arm exercises can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke less than 6 months ago. The therapy is for the weaker arm and aims to help you regain strength and control.
This trial tests a robotic arm system that combines movement and thinking tasks to help people recover arm function after a first stroke. It is for people aged 40–80 who had a stroke within the last 2 weeks to 6 months and have some arm weakness but not too severe.
This study tests whether robot-guided therapy can improve arm and hand recovery after a stroke. You may be a candidate if your stroke was recent and you still have certain levels of arm weakness and movement.
This trial studies whether robot-assisted therapy can help people who had a stroke at least 3 months ago improve their arm and hand function. It may be a good option if you are ready for rehab and do not have certain complications like severe hand stiffness or recent injections.
