Robot-assisted hand therapy for children with one-sided weakness
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether special robotic training can help children with weakness on one side of the body improve hand movement, grip strength, and sense of position. The robot may make therapy fun and help the brain relearn how to move the affected hand.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child is between 6 and 9 years old
- Has mild to moderate muscle stiffness in the arm or hand
- Can walk without help (may need some support with stairs or balance)
- Can use hands for daily tasks but may need help with small or tricky items
- Able to follow simple instructions and understand what to do during therapy

This study tests a special hand and arm therapy for children with spastic cerebral palsy. The therapy also includes leg exercises to improve movement. It may help your child use their hands and arms better.
This study tests whether a robotic hand device can help children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (weakness on one side of the body) improve their hand strength and ability to do everyday tasks like picking things up or writing. The therapy involves using a special robotic glove or device to guide and support hand movements.
This study tests whether a special robotic glove helps children with unilateral cerebral palsy improve hand movement and strength. Children wear the glove while doing hand exercises.
This study compares two types of hand therapy for children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. One therapy uses only constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) to encourage use of the weaker hand, and the other adds a robotic glove to help with hand movements. The goal is to see which one works better for improving hand function.
This study tests a robotic hand training system called ZEPU-SG1PLUS to help improve arm and hand function in people with various conditions like stroke or injury. It aims to see if this device can help you move better and do daily activities more easily.
This study tests whether a robot-assisted therapy program can help people recover arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. If you had a stroke less than 3 months ago and have some weakness in your arm but can still move it a little, this trial may help you regain function.
