Thinking and robotic glove training for hand function after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a first-ever stroke 6 to 12 weeks ago.
- You have some arm or hand weakness from the stroke.
- Your arm muscles are not too tight (less than a 2 on a special tightness scale).
- Your thinking is clear (score more than 24 on a memory and thinking test).
- You do not have a pacemaker or other active implant.
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This test combines a soft robotic hand and electrical stimulation to help improve hand movement in people recovering from a stroke. It may benefit stroke survivors who have some ability to extend their fingers and are in the early months of recovery.
This trial tests whether combining mental imagery practice with a robotic hand device can help improve hand function in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. The robotic hand reads signals from your arm muscles to help you practice controlled movements.
This study tests whether combining mental practice (imagining movements) with robot-assisted hand therapy can improve hand function after a stroke. It may help you regain movement and independence in daily activities.
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 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 study tests whether a special robotic device can help people regain hand movement after a recent first stroke. It's for people who are already in a stroke rehab program and have hand weakness but can still move their fingers a bit.
