Robots vs. standard rehab: can tech boost stroke recovery?

NCT ID NCT06273475

First seen Nov 20, 2025

Summary

This study compares robot-assisted training to standard physical therapy for people who have had a stroke and still have moderate-to-severe movement problems. Forty participants who are 6-24 months post-stroke will be randomly assigned to one of two training programs. The goal is to see if the robot-assisted approach leads to better improvements in walking, strength, and quality of life.

Active substance

robot-assisted gait and strength training

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a more effective rehab method for people with moderate-to-severe stroke-related movement problems.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The robot-assisted training may not prove better than standard therapy.
