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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 if using a soft robotic glove together with mirror therapy can help improve hand and arm movement in people recovering from a stroke. You would wear the glove on your affected hand while looking in a mirror at your unaffected hand, which may help retrain your brain.
