NCT ID NCT06870682
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tested a new robot-based therapy program to improve arm function in 10 people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. The program combined robot-assisted training, practice with daily activities, and home exercises over 4 weeks. The goal was to see if the approach is feasible and potentially helpful for improving movement and sensation in the affected arm.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
robot-based upper limb rehabilitation program
What this could lead to
If this approach works, it could point toward a new therapy to improve arm and hand function in people who have had a stroke.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The therapy is intensive and requires frequent visits, which may not be feasible for all stroke survivors.
