Using wrist sensors to measure daily arm use after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether wearing small activity monitors on both wrists for 3 days can better measure how stroke affects daily two-handed tasks. It aims to improve understanding of real-world arm function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You had a stroke that happened on only one side of your brain and has been at least 6 months since then.
- You live at home (not in a hospital or rehab facility).
- You are able to wear watches on both wrists for 3 days in a row.
- You have trouble using both hands together (like buttoning or opening a jar).
- You must not have very severe arm weakness (no movement at all) or other nerve or joint problems affecting your arms.

This study uses a small device worn on your arm to measure how much you move and sit during daily life. It aims to help understand physical activity patterns in people recovering from a stroke with some walking difficulty.
This study checks if new guidelines for placing sensors on leg muscles work well in people who have had a stroke. It could help improve how we measure muscle activity during walking and other movements.
This study uses a special sensor to measure how well you can move your arm after a stroke. It aims to see if this sensor tool is as good as the standard test doctors use.
This Phase 2 study tests a new wrist sensor system that tracks arm movement and gives feedback using a phone or tablet. It aims to improve daily use of the weaker (hemiparetic) arm in people with a prior stroke.
This study tests a wrist-worn sensor that vibrates to remind you to use your weaker arm. It's designed for people who had a stroke 1 to 6 months ago and have some arm weakness, to help them use their affected arm more during daily activities.
This study tests if wearing small sensors on your arm at home and using a smartphone app can help improve how you use your weaker arm after a stroke. It is designed for people who are at least a year past their stroke and want to take an active role in their recovery.
