Can a mirror and a robot glove restore hand movement after stroke?

NCT ID NCT07467915

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether combining mirror therapy with a soft robotic glove can improve hand function in people who have had a stroke and have weakness on one side. 104 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either standard rehab, mirror therapy alone, the robotic glove alone, or both together. The goal is to see if the combined approach leads to better hand movement and daily use.

Active substance

mirror therapy and soft robotic glove

What this could lead to

If successful, this combination therapy could offer a new, non-drug way to improve hand movement and daily function for stroke survivors.

What could go wrong

This is a relatively small, early-stage trial (104 people) testing a rehabilitation technique, not a cure. Results may not apply to all stroke patients, and improvements may be modest.
