NCT ID NCT07675759
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new shoulder support device designed to prevent shoulder subluxation (partial dislocation) in people who have had a stroke and have weakness on one side. Eighty first-time stroke patients will use either the new device or a standard sling during early rehabilitation. The goal is to see if the new device better maintains shoulder alignment and reduces complications like pain and stiffness.

Active substance
Novel shoulder subluxation prevention orthosis
What this could lead to
If effective, this device could become a standard tool to prevent shoulder complications and improve arm function after stroke.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with 80 participants, so results may not apply to all stroke patients. The device may not outperform conventional slings.
