Advanced rehab technology for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether advanced technology-based rehabilitation can help people who have had a stroke regain movement and use of their affected arm. It may be a good option if you have had a single stroke and still have some arm weakness but no severe muscle tightness or memory problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You have had a single stroke (not multiple strokes) that affected one side of your brain
- You still have some difficulty moving your arm or hand on the affected side
- Your arm muscles are not extremely tight (score less than 3 on the Modified Ashworth Scale)
- You have normal or near-normal thinking and memory skills (score above 24 on a common memory test)
- You are medically stable and able to take part in an intensive rehab program

This study tests new technologies to help people recover arm movement after a stroke. You would use special devices at home with a caregiver's help, and the team will see how well they work for you.
This trial tests a robotic arm system that combines movement and thinking tasks to help people recover arm function after a first stroke. It is for people aged 40–80 who had a stroke within the last 2 weeks to 6 months and have some arm weakness but not too severe.
This study tests if using a robot to help with arm exercises can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke less than 6 months ago. The therapy is for the weaker arm and aims to help you regain strength and control.
This study tests whether a robot-assisted therapy program can help people recover arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. If you had a stroke less than 3 months ago and have some weakness in your arm but can still move it a little, this trial may help you regain function.
This trial tests if a robot can help people recovering from a first stroke improve arm and hand movement. It compares robot-assisted therapy to standard rehabilitation exercises.
This study tests a new rehabilitation program for people who have had a stroke within the last 6 months. It focuses on improving arm weakness using special therapy techniques.
