Wrist sensors and cameras could revolutionize rehab documentation
NCT ID NCT07739134
First seen Jul 31, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether everyday rehabilitation therapy sessions can be recorded and measured more objectively using wrist-worn sensors, a video camera, and an audio recorder. Adults with neurological conditions like stroke, Parkinson's disease, or spinal cord injury will wear the sensors during three routine therapy sessions. The goal is to see if this technology can reliably capture what happens during therapy and how much effort it takes, potentially making future documentation more consistent and less time-consuming for therapists.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Multimodal monitoring system (wrist-worn sensors, video camera, and audio recorder) used during routine rehabilitation therapy sessions
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to more objective, consistent, and time-saving documentation of rehabilitation therapy, improving patient care and research.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The technology might not capture data reliably in all real-world therapy settings.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Adults undergoing routine neurorehabilitation for neurological motor impairment at a specialized rehabilitation center. Eligible conditions include stroke, cerebral palsy, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injury, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Participants are recruited consecutively from routine clinical practice at the study site and are capable of providing informed consent and participating in a therapy session of at least 30 minutes. A balanced distribution of male and female participants is pursued through consecutive recruitment of eligible patients.
