AI-Powered robot could personalize stroke rehab
NCT ID NCT07199322
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether an artificial intelligence system can help therapists set better rehab exercises for a robotic arm trainer used by stroke patients. One hundred adults who had a stroke within the last six months will receive either AI-guided or therapist-guided robotic therapy. The goal is to see if the AI approach improves arm movement, daily activities, and quality of life more than standard care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- MOTORE robotic device with AI decision-support software
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could make robotic rehab more personalized and effective, helping stroke survivors regain arm function faster.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The AI support may not outperform standard therapist-guided rehab.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke confirmed by Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI); * Age between 18 and 85 years; * Time since stroke less than six months; * Mild to severe upper limb impairment (Fugl-Meyer Assessment for Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) ≤ 58). Exclusion Criteria: * Behavioral or cognitive disorders and/or reduced compliance; * Severe spasticity or hypertonia in the affected limb (Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) \> 3); * Severe visual impairments; * Concurrent participation in another clinical trial for upper limb rehabilitation following stroke; * Refusal to provide written informed consent.
