Effects of a dynamic arm support in daily life
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a dynamic arm support (a device that helps lift your arm) improves your daily activities. You can join if you already use one of the specific Focal Meditech arm supports.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 16 years old or older.
- You can understand and follow test instructions.
- You currently use a dynamic arm support from Focal Meditech (Balancer, Flowing, Dowing, Gowing 2, or Top Help).

This trial tests a custom 3D-printed hand brace (orthosis) designed to help you use your hand better in everyday activities. You would wear it regularly to see if it improves your ability to do daily tasks like eating, dressing, or writing.
This study uses a small wearable device (called Syde) to track arm and hand movement in boys with Duchenne who can no longer walk. The goal is to see if this device can help doctors understand how arm function changes over time, which may guide future care.
This trial tests a smart system that helps people with arm or hand problems from conditions like stroke or Parkinson's do therapy at home. The system automatically adjusts exercises to your ability, with the goal of improving your daily function.
This trial tests a robotic arm called ORTHOPUS that helps people with reduced arm movement use their arm more independently in daily life. It might be a good fit if you have some arm movement but need extra support.
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.
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.
