Tai chi with a robot for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study combines a robotic arm device with tai chi exercises to help people who have had a stroke regain movement and strength in their affected arm. The goal is to make rehabilitation more engaging and effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a first stroke (not a repeat stroke) that was confirmed by a brain scan.
- It has been 12 months or less since your stroke.
- You have some arm weakness but can still move your arm a little (Fugl-Meyer score between 8 and 44).
- You are between 40 and 80 years old.
- You can sit without help for at least one hour.

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 compares standard rehabilitation with therapy that uses robots and other digital tools to help people regain movement after a stroke. It's for people who had a first stroke within the last 6 months and have some arm, leg, or balance problems.
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 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 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 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.
