Mental practice with robot hand therapy after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining mental practice (imagining movements) with robot-assisted hand therapy can improve hand function after a stroke. It may help you regain movement and independence in daily activities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had a stroke.
- You have weakness or difficulty using your hand and arm.
- Your hand and finger stiffness is mild to moderate (not severe).
- You can follow instructions and participate in therapy sessions.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether combining mental imagery practice with a robotic hand device can help improve hand function in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. The robotic hand reads signals from your arm muscles to help you practice controlled movements.
This trial tests if combining a soft robotic glove with thinking-based hand exercises helps stroke survivors regain hand movement better than exercises alone. If you had your first stroke 6 to 12 weeks ago and have some arm weakness, this study might be a fit.
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 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 whether a special robotic device can help people regain hand movement after a recent first stroke. It's for people who are already in a stroke rehab program and have hand weakness but can still move their fingers a bit.
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.
