NCT ID NCT05626894

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026

Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests a wrist-worn sensor system called StrokeWear, combined with goal-setting and daily action planning, to encourage stroke survivors to use their weaker arm more during everyday activities. The study enrolls 32 chronic stroke survivors who will either use the system for 6 months or follow a standard home exercise plan. The goal is to see if the device and coaching improve arm movement and real-world use.
