Wearable robot and virtual reality for hand recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if combining a wearable robotic glove with virtual reality exercises can help improve hand function in people who have had a stroke. It may be a good fit if you have some movement in your hand and arm but need more help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a stroke.
- You can bend your wrist backward at least 10 degrees.
- You have some arm and hand movement (beyond early recovery stages).
- You do not have severe memory or thinking problems.
- You have not had Botox in your affected arm in the last 6 months.
- You do not have a history of seizures or major arm surgery.

This trial tests whether virtual reality therapy can help improve arm and hand function in people who had a stroke within the past 6 weeks to 6 months. You must be able to do some arm movement and have no major health issues that prevent participation.
This study tests a soft, wearable robot to help people who had a stroke regain hand and finger movement. It is designed for those whose stroke happened at least 6 months ago, who still have some muscle activity in their hand, and who can sit for short periods.
This trial tests if combining a soft robotic glove with thinking-based hand exercises helps stroke survivors regain hand movement better than exercises alone. If you had your first stroke 6 to 12 weeks ago and have some arm weakness, this study might be a fit.
This trial tests a wearable robotic device that helps move your arm after a stroke. It is designed for people with significant arm weakness to improve their upper limb function.
This test combines a soft robotic hand and electrical stimulation to help improve hand movement in people recovering from a stroke. It may benefit stroke survivors who have some ability to extend their fingers and are in the early months of recovery.
This study tests a wearable glove that helps people with hand weakness after a stroke do therapy exercises at home. It aims to see if the glove is easy to use and helpful for improving hand movement.
