Soft robot for hand rehab after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your stroke happened more than 6 months ago
- You can follow instructions and participate
- You can sit up for 30 minutes
- Your hand muscles still have some electrical activity (a test will check this)
- Your finger stiffness is between 'none' and 'quite stiff but can be moved' (a score of 0 to 3 on the Ashworth scale)
- You don't have severe trouble speaking or other conditions that would interfere
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

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 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 study tests a robotic device that helps move your hand after a stroke. It aims to improve hand function during your rehabilitation.
This study tests whether a robot-guided therapy program can help people regain arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. You may be able to join if you are within a month of a first stroke on one side and have specific levels of arm and hand recovery.
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.
This study tests whether a robotic hand device (exoskeleton) can help people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago improve hand movement. It may benefit those who still have some hand function but struggle to open their affected hand.
