Comparing two arm exercises after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests two different types of arm exercises to see which one helps improve arm function better during early stroke recovery. It is for people who recently had a stroke on one side of their brain and are in the early stages of recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Had a stroke on one side of the brain (middle cerebral artery).
- Currently in early stage of recovery (using Brunnstrom stage 1 or 2).
- Have a healthy body weight (BMI between 18.5 and 24.99).
- Are right-handed or left-handed (dominant hand).
- No major problems with thinking, perception, or planning movements.

This study compares two different ways to help improve arm movement after a stroke. It looks at perceptual motor training (which helps with planning and coordinating movements) versus repetitive facilitation exercises (which use repeated, guided movements to retrain the muscles). If you have had a stroke and have mild to moderate arm weakness, this trial may help you regain function.
This study compares two types of arm and hand therapy for people recovering from a stroke. It aims to see which approach helps improve arm function and daily living skills.
This study tests two different physical therapy approaches to help improve arm movement and function in people recovering from stroke. You'll participate in therapy sessions using either rhythmic initiation (guided movement exercises) or isometric training (muscle-tightening exercises) to see which helps your arm recover better.
This study compares two ways of doing hand and arm exercises after stroke: practicing with just your weak arm, or practicing with both arms together. The goal is to see which approach helps you regain better movement, strength, and hand coordination.
This study compares two types of hand and arm training for people recovering from stroke. You'll do exercises using both arms together, either while focusing only on the movements or while doing a second mental task at the same time. The goal is to see which approach helps your arm strength and control improve more.
This study tests two types of arm movement therapy—constraint-induced and bilateral training—to see if they help people who have had a stroke and still have some arm weakness. It is for adults who are in the chronic stage (at least 6 months after stroke) and have normal memory and thinking skills.
