Testing a soft elbow brace and armband for arm weakness after stroke or Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a soft elbow brace and a vibrating armband to help people with stroke or Parkinson's disease improve arm movement. It's designed for people with mild-to-moderate arm weakness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are able to understand and follow instructions.
- You have some arm weakness (like from stroke or Parkinson's) but not too severe, with a QuickDASH score between 20 and 70.
- You do not have severe muscle tightness in your affected arm, severe pain, or skin problems where the device would be placed.
- If you have had a stroke, it must have been diagnosed by an MRI or CT scan, and you still have some movement in your arm.
- If you have Parkinson's, you must be at Hoehn and Yahr stage II or III and be able to do tasks while your medication is working.

This trial tests a smart system that helps people with arm or hand problems from conditions like stroke or Parkinson's do therapy at home. The system automatically adjusts exercises to your ability, with the goal of improving your daily function.
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.
This study tests a wrist-worn sensor that vibrates to remind you to use your weaker arm. It's designed for people who had a stroke 1 to 6 months ago and have some arm weakness, to help them use their affected arm more during daily activities.
This study tests a robotic arm brace (exoskeleton) to help people who recently had a stroke and have trouble moving their arm. The goal is to see if the device can improve arm movement and daily function.
This Phase 2 study tests a new wrist sensor system that tracks arm movement and gives feedback using a phone or tablet. It aims to improve daily use of the weaker (hemiparetic) arm in people with a prior stroke.
