Video game exercises for arm recovery after chronic stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether playing motion-controlled video games can help improve arm and hand function in adults who have had a stroke more than six months ago. If you have some movement in your affected arm but it's still limited, this study may offer an engaging way to work on your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your stroke happened more than 6 months ago.
- You can sit and stand on your own, with or without a cane or walker.
- Your affected arm has some movement but is not fully normal.

This study tests whether playing video games that involve movement (exergaming) or using a robotic arm device can help improve arm function and reduce inflammation after a stroke. It may be a good fit if you are ready to start therapy and can sit up and watch a screen.
This study tests a home-based video game program designed to help people with stroke improve arm and hand movement. If you have some movement in your affected arm and can use a computer, this trial may help you regain function through engaging, game-like exercises.
This trial tests if doing fun, non-immersive video game–like exercises for a short time can help reduce chronic pain in the shoulder or arm after a stroke. It looks at whether these exercises can improve arm movement and make daily activities feel easier.
This trial tests a home-based video game exercise program to help people with multiple sclerosis improve arm and hand function. You play games that involve moving your arm, which may help you regain strength and control.
This study compares two styles of robotic training (focused more on the shoulder/upper arm versus the hand/wrist) plus movement games to improve arm function after a first stroke. It may help people regain more useful arm and hand movement through guided, repeatable practice.
This study tests whether playing interactive hand-training games can improve hand movement and daily use after a stroke. It might help if you had a stroke 6 months to 2 years ago and can still move your wrist and fingers a little.
