Hand training system for arm recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a hand training system that may help improve hand and arm movement after a stroke. If you have had a stroke and have trouble using your hand, this study might be able to help you regain some function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 21 and 80 years old.

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 study tests whether a robotic hand device (exoskeleton) can help people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago improve hand movement. It may benefit those who still have some hand function but struggle to open their affected hand.
This study tests whether non-invasive brain stimulation plus a hand/arm electrical stimulation device can improve how well your stroke-affected arm and hand move during therapy tasks. You would take part in screening and then receive these combined rehab approaches to see if motor control improves.
This study tests a new system called NeuroTechR3 that may help people who have had a stroke regain movement in their arm and hand. It involves training exercises that you can do at home with a computer.
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 trial tests a high-tech glove that helps track and improve hand and arm movement after a stroke. It may be an option for people who had a stroke 1 to 6 months ago and have mild to moderate arm weakness.
