Shoulder and arm exercises for stroke with shoulder blade issues
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests if specific shoulder and arm exercises can improve movement and walking in people who had a stroke and have shoulder blade problems. It may help if you have some muscle tightness but can still follow instructions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke that affects the middle part of your brain (MCA) and are still in the early recovery stage (sub-acute, likely within weeks to months).
- You are between 40 and 65 years old.
- You have mild to moderate muscle tightness in your arm (spasticity level +1 or 1 on a 0-4 scale).
- Your walking balance is limited (score less than 19 on a test called the Dynamic Gait Index).
- You can understand and follow simple instructions, and you do not have other brain or mental health conditions.

This study compares two types of shoulder exercises to see which works better for people with shoulder blade movement problems, often caused by lots of desk work. If you join, you'll do a guided exercise program that may reduce pain and improve your shoulder function.
This study compares two types of exercise (ShoulderSphere and Bodyblade) to improve shoulder blade movement. It is for people who have scapular dyskinesia but no current or recent shoulder pain.
This study looks at how shoulder blade movement relates to shoulder muscle strength and space in people without shoulder pain. It may help understand early signs of shoulder problems.
This study compares two types of arm exercises to help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It aims to find which exercise approach is better for recovery.
This trial tests whether adding more arm exercises early after a stroke helps people recover arm and hand movement. If you qualify, you would get extra motor training in addition to your regular therapy.
This trial tests a wearable device and training task to help improve how stroke-affected arm muscles work together. It may help reduce unwanted “extra muscle effort” and improve control in people with recent or long-term stroke.
