Testing Stroke Recovery Assessment Tools on a Tablet
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether simple drawing and line-matching tasks on a tablet can help doctors measure how well stroke survivors are recovering, particularly focusing on attention and spatial awareness problems that sometimes occur after stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had your first stroke between 1 and 24 months ago (not longer ago than 2 years)
- Your stroke caused weakness or paralysis on one side of your body (hemiplegia)
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You did not have serious brain conditions, psychiatric illness, or major head injuries before this stroke
- You can use your hands and understand instructions well enough to interact with a tablet
- You have no severe vision loss unrelated to neglect (one-sided hemianopia is an exclusion)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses a robot to measure how well stroke survivors can pay attention to both sides of space. It may help if you have trouble noticing things on one side (called neglect).
This trial tests an augmented reality (AR) system to find and treat “neglect” after an acute stroke. If you qualify, it may help assess attention problems and guide rehabilitation exercises.
This study tests a strategy-training program to help people who have had a stroke and struggle with spatial neglect (trouble paying attention to one side). The program is designed to improve attention and daily function. Participation involves coming to the University of Pittsburgh for training sessions.
This study tests whether an interactive screen helps people with left-sided neglect after a stroke. It includes adults who had a right-sided stroke and have trouble paying attention to the left side of their world.
This trial tests an at-home, phone/computer-based therapy to help people who have “neglect” after a stroke, using visual tasks to retrain attention. It may help improve how you notice and respond to the space on one side of your world.
This trial tests a virtual task called the 'Eggs Test' to see if it can help measure hand and arm function after a stroke. It may help people who are at least 2 weeks past their first stroke and can move their arm enough to do the task.
