Can video games rebuild arm strength after a stroke?
NCT ID NCT07769281
First seen Aug 17, 2026 · Last updated Aug 17, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether a computer-based rehabilitation system called NeuroTechR3 can help people improve arm and hand function after a stroke. Participants will play upper extremity rehabilitation games on a computer for 30 minutes, three times a week. The study measures changes in arm strength and mobility, as well as how usable and easy the system is to learn. It aims to see if this approach is feasible and potentially effective for stroke recovery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- NeuroTechR3 Computer Rehabilitation System (a device that delivers upper extremity rehabilitation games on a computer)
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this system could offer a new, engaging way to improve arm and hand recovery after stroke, potentially enhancing independence and quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small early trial (10 participants) focused on feasibility, so results may not apply broadly. The device's effectiveness is unproven, and individual outcomes may vary.
