3D-printed splints for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a custom 3D-printed splint can improve arm and hand function in people who had a stroke a while ago. It's designed for those with some arm weakness and mild to moderate muscle tightness.

This study tests a type of physical therapy called modified constraint-induced movement therapy to help improve arm and hand function in people who have had a stroke more than six months ago. You will be encouraged to use your affected arm more often while the stronger arm is gently restricted, which may help retrain your brain and improve movement.
This trial tests a wearable robotic hand brace to help you move your arm and hand after a stroke. It is for people who are at least 6 months past their first stroke, have some arm strength, and can have a caregiver help with home exercises.
This trial tests a hand training system that may help improve hand and arm movement after a stroke. If you have had a stroke and have trouble using your hand, this study might be able to help you regain some function.
This study tests a home-based arm exercise program for people who have had a stroke and have some movement in their affected arm and hand. It aims to see if doing these exercises at home can improve arm function.
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 rehabilitation program to improve arm and hand function after a first stroke. It is designed for people who have some movement but need extra help to recover strength and control.
