Passive robot study for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a passive robot (a device that moves without force) to help stroke survivors regain arm movement. It aims to see if this approach is safe and helpful for people with arm weakness after a stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.

- You can feel light touch and know where your arm or leg is without looking.
- You do not have a stroke on both sides of your brain.
- You are not pregnant, do not have a pacemaker, and do not have metal in your skull.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 if using a robot to help with arm exercises can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke less than 6 months ago. The therapy is for the weaker arm and aims to help you regain strength and control.
This study compares standard rehabilitation with therapy that uses robots and other digital tools to help people regain movement after a stroke. It's for people who had a first stroke within the last 6 months and have some arm, leg, or balance problems.
This study tests whether robot-guided therapy can improve arm and hand recovery after a stroke. You may be a candidate if your stroke was recent and you still have certain levels of arm weakness and movement.
This trial tests if combining two types of electrical stimulation with a robotic device can help improve arm movement in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It may be a good option if you have some movement in your arm but not full strength.
This trial tests if a robot can help people recovering from a first stroke improve arm and hand movement. It compares robot-assisted therapy to standard rehabilitation exercises.
