NCT ID NCT04599036
First seen Apr 20, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study tests whether a special arm brace that reads muscle signals can help stroke survivors with severe arm weakness recover better than standard rehab alone. Three veterans who had a stroke within the past 6 months will use the device during their early rehabilitation. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and improves arm movement and daily function.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
EMG controlled arm orthosis (MARK device)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a new tool to help stroke survivors regain arm function and perform daily activities more independently.
What could go wrong
This is a very small feasibility study with only 3 participants, so results may not apply widely. The device requires detectable muscle signals, which not all patients have.
