Robotic arm brace could restore movement in chronic stroke patients
NCT ID NCT05296408
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a wearable robotic arm device called MyoPro, combined with motor learning therapy, can improve arm function in people who had a stroke at least six months ago and have severe arm weakness. The device reads muscle signals to help move the arm. Sixty participants will be randomly assigned to receive either therapy with the device or therapy alone. The goal is to see if the device leads to better arm movement and quality of life.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
MyoPro myoelectric orthosis (wearable robotic arm device) plus motor learning-based therapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a new way to help people with long-term severe arm weakness after stroke regain some movement and independence.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device requires detectable muscle signals, which not all stroke survivors have.
Conditions
The condition(s) this trial relates to.
As listed by the trial registrant
