Testing a muscle stiffness tool in stroke survivors
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a simple tool to measure muscle stiffness after a stroke. It helps doctors better understand how to treat muscle tightness that some people have after a stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have had a stroke (confirmed by a doctor and a brain scan).
- You should have some muscle stiffness or tightness (spasticity) in your arm or leg after the stroke.
- You must be able to follow instructions and give your permission to be in the study.
- You cannot have other serious brain diseases like Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, or ALS.

This study uses a device called PhysioMaster to measure posture and range of motion in people who have had a stroke. It aims to help understand and improve recovery after a stroke.
This 24-month study helps doctors improve how they treat muscle stiffness (spasticity) that develops after stroke. You'll work with a research team to track your recovery and test better ways to reduce stiffness and improve movement.
This study is translating and testing a tool that helps doctors assess muscle stiffness (hypertonia) in children with motor disorders. It aims to make the tool available in Turkish so it can be used more easily in clinics.
This study tests a new computer system designed to measure and help improve arm and hand function in people with stroke, Parkinson's disease, ALS, or memory problems. The system adjusts itself to each person's abilities and may help guide rehabilitation exercises.
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation (tDCS) can help reduce muscle stiffness and improve arm or leg movement in people who had a stroke. If you have tight or stiff muscles after your stroke, this might be a good option to explore.
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.
