Virtual-reality training using muscle signals for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a virtual-reality training system that uses muscle signals to help people regain arm movement after a recent stroke. It may be an option if you had a stroke within the last 2 weeks and have arm weakness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had a stroke (first or later) within the last 2 weeks.
- You have arm or hand weakness after your stroke.
- You can understand instructions and communicate in English or with help from a speech therapist.
- You do not have other serious medical conditions or vision problems that would prevent full participation.
- You are not already in another experimental stroke rehab trial.

This trial tests whether virtual reality (VR) games and tasks can help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It is for people who had a first stroke 1 to 6 months ago and have some arm weakness but can sit up for 30 minutes.
This trial tests whether using virtual reality can help improve arm and hand function after a stroke. It compares this modern rehabilitation approach to standard therapy for people who had a stroke 3 to 12 months ago.
This trial tests whether virtual reality therapy can help improve arm and hand function in people who had a stroke within the past 6 weeks to 6 months. You must be able to do some arm movement and have no major health issues that prevent participation.
This trial tests whether using virtual reality (a computer-generated environment you can interact with) during rehabilitation helps improve arm movement after a recent stroke. If you are in the hospital recovering from a stroke and have arm weakness, this therapy might help you regain strength and coordination.
This trial uses a video game controlled by arm muscle activity to help people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago regain arm movement. The game retrains muscle patterns to improve arm function.
This trial tests whether combining virtual reality mirror therapy with a gentle brain stimulation technique can improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke. It may be an option if you have moderate to severe arm weakness and it has been more than three months since your stroke.
