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 trial tests if an electrical stimulator controlled by muscle signals can help improve arm function after a stroke. It may benefit people who have some movement but not full control in one arm.
This trial tests a high-tech rehabilitation program using an exoskeleton to help people recover arm movement after a stroke. It aims to improve multiple areas of function, like strength and daily activities.
This study tests a soft robotic device to help people with upper limb weakness from a neurological disorder, such as a brain injury, practice arm movements. The goal is to see if it can help with rehabilitation and daily assistance.
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.
