3D-printed splints for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether custom 3D-printed splints help improve arm and hand function after a stroke. It may be a good option if you have had a stroke and have some stiffness or weakness in your arm.

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 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.
This study tests a new rehabilitation program for people who have had a stroke within the last 6 months. It focuses on improving arm weakness using special therapy techniques.
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.
