Action Observation Therapy for Stroke Recovery via Telehealth
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a therapy where you watch videos of hand and arm movements and then practice them yourself, delivered through video calls from home. It's designed to help people recover arm and hand function after a stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

- Your hand and arm have some ability to move (Brunnstrom stage 4 or higher)
- You can think clearly and follow directions (score 24+ on memory test)
- You don't have severe stiffness or tight joints that prevent opening and closing your hand

This study tests whether watching and practicing hand movements (with one or both hands) can help improve hand function and grip strength in people who had a stroke on the left side of their brain. The therapy uses observation and practice to retrain the brain and hand after stroke.
This study tests a home-based (telerehabilitation) program to help people practice arm movement after a recent stroke (or certain brain injuries). It may help improve arm function when started soon after symptoms begin.
This study tests whether a new therapy done at home via video calls can help people with severe, long-lasting stroke regain leg movement and walking ability. If you have trouble walking or moving your leg on one side, this may be an option.
This study tests whether watching virtual reality videos of arm movements can help improve arm function after a stroke. It may be a good fit if you have some movement in your affected arm and can follow instructions.
This trial tests a home-based exercise program to help people with chronic stroke improve arm and hand function. You would do exercises with a webcam, supervised remotely by a therapist.
This study tests a home-based therapy program delivered by video calls to help people recovering from a stroke improve arm function. It is designed for those with moderate arm weakness about 4 months after their stroke.
