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.

This study tests whether robotic exercises can improve sensory and cognitive abilities in people who recently had a stroke. It may help you regain better function in your daily activities.
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 a robotic device that helps both arms work together to improve movement after a stroke. It may help people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago and have some arm weakness.
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.
