Robotic arm training may improve movement after stroke
NCT ID NCT04446273
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two ways of using a robotic device to help people with chronic stroke regain arm function. About 72 participants will receive 18 sessions of robotic training over 6 weeks, either starting with the forearm or the wrist. Researchers will measure arm movement, strength, and coordination before, after, and 3 months later to see which approach works better.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Bi-Manu-Track robotic device
What this could lead to
If successful, this could identify the best order of robotic arm exercises to improve recovery after stroke.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with no control group. Results may not apply to all stroke survivors, and the benefit may be modest.
