Could everyday tasks help stroke survivors recover arm function?

NCT ID NCT07164612

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether adding occupation-based bilateral arm training (OBBT) to standard therapy helps stroke survivors improve arm movement and daily activities. 150 participants in inpatient rehab will either get OBBT plus standard care or standard care alone for 6 weeks. The goal is to see if practicing real-life tasks with both arms boosts recovery more than usual therapy.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Occupation-based bilateral upper limb training (OBBT)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide a more effective rehab approach to help stroke survivors regain arm function and independence in daily activities.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial (150 participants) testing a behavioral intervention, so results may not apply broadly. The added benefit over standard therapy may be modest.
