Testing a wearable robot arm for stroke or nerve injury recovery
This trial tests a wearable robot that helps move your arm. It's for people recovering from a stroke or brachial plexus injury who still have some arm muscle strength but need extra support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You had a stroke or a brachial plexus injury more than 6 months ago.
- Your affected arm still has at least a little muscle strength (grade 2 on a 5-point scale).
- You can follow simple instructions and communicate well.
- You haven't used electrical muscle stimulation treatment in the last 6 months.
- You don't have other nerve, muscle, or bone problems in that arm.

This study is testing a soft robotic device that helps people move their arm and hand during rehabilitation. It is for people who have had a brain injury (like a stroke) and have lasting arm weakness, but healthy volunteers can also join.
This study tests a robotic arm brace (exoskeleton) to help people who recently had a stroke and have trouble moving their arm. The goal is to see if the device can improve arm movement and daily function.
This trial tests a wearable robotic device that helps move your arm after a stroke. It is designed for people with significant arm weakness to improve their upper limb function.
This trial tests a robotic device that helps move your arm and hand during rehabilitation, with the goal of improving elbow and hand function. You may be a good fit if you have certain nerve/spinal cord injury levels and can still make some finger and elbow muscle movements at the start.
This trial tests a wearable robotic device (ExoNET) that helps stroke survivors with hand weakness. It aims to see if the device is safe and helpful for people who had a stroke at least 8 months ago and still have trouble using their arm and hand.
This trial tests a wearable arm exoskeleton that uses your muscle signals to help rehab a weak arm after stroke. It may help improve arm movement by pairing training with this device, but you must meet specific movement, skin, and scan-safety requirements.
