New hybrid arm device shows promise for stroke rehab
NCT ID NCT07270484
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new device called a hybrid neuroprosthesis to help people who have had a stroke move their arm better. 24 adults with arm weakness after a stroke used the device in rehab sessions. The goal was to see if the device was easy to use, safe, and helpful, not to cure the stroke. Results will show how well patients accepted the technology and if it can be used in future rehab programs.
