FES-assisted arm bike training for recent stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) to arm bike exercises can help improve arm movement in people who had a stroke within the last six months. It is designed for those with weakness on one side of the body.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age between 18 and 85 years
- Had a stroke (either type) within the last six months
- Weakness on one side, mainly affecting the arm or hand
- Able to follow simple instructions and cooperate with the team
- Medically stable enough for exercise
- No pacemaker or similar implanted device

This trial tests functional electrical stimulation (FES)—a technique that uses mild electrical pulses to help activate arm muscles—combined with training to improve upper limb function and reduce stiffness after stroke. It may help you regain better movement and control in your arm.
This trial tests if an electrical stimulator controlled by muscle signals can help improve arm function after a stroke. It may benefit people who have some movement but not full control in one arm.
This study tests a device that uses brain activity signals to trigger stroke arm therapy. It may help improve how well your upper arm and hand function by timing the training to your brain’s patterns.
This study tests a special cycling exercise program designed to help people who have had a stroke regain arm and leg movement. It aims to see if this focused cycling therapy can improve recovery and reduce healthcare costs.
This study tests a home-based device that uses small electrical pulses to help activate weak leg muscles in people who have had a stroke. It aims to improve leg function and recovery, with the convenience of doing therapy at home using a smartphone app.
This study tests a device that uses mild electrical pulses and augmented reality (a computer overlay on real life) to help people who have arm or hand weakness after a recent stroke or brain injury regain movement.
