Home use of a wearable grasping device after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a wearable device that helps open and close the hand can be used at home by people who have weakness after a stroke. It may help improve your ability to grasp objects like a glass or spoon.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You previously took part in and finished the GRASP-AGAIN study and saw improvement with the neuroprosthesis.
- You had a stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic) more than one month ago that affects your arm or hand.
- You have trouble opening your hand to grasp a glass or thumb-to-index grip for a spoon, even though your fingers can open passively.
- You can sit in a chair and stay focused for at least 1.5 hours.
- You are covered by a health insurance plan.

This study tests whether a “closed-loop” neuroprosthesis (a hand-control device that responds to your movement) can improve hand grasping after a stroke. It may help people who cannot open or grab objects on their own, and who can safely participate during a short hospital stay.
This study tests a home-use glove (SaeboGlove®) that may help people who had a stroke grip and hold objects with their hand. It looks at how using the glove affects arm function and what factors help people stick with the program.
This trial tests a home-based exercise program for people who have weakness in one arm or hand after their first stroke. It aims to help improve movement and function without needing to go to a clinic.
This study tests a home-based arm exercise program for people who have had a stroke and have some movement in their affected arm and hand. It aims to see if doing these exercises at home can improve arm function.
This trial tests a home-use hand device (ReHandyBot) to help you practice hand movements after a recent stroke. It is designed for people who can still move their arm a little but need more therapy, and who can set up the device in their own home.
This trial tests a wearable robotic device (ExoNET) that helps stroke survivors with hand weakness. It aims to see if the device is safe and helpful for people who had a stroke at least 8 months ago and still have trouble using their arm and hand.
