What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether a robotic hand device can improve grip strength and fine motor skills in people who had a stroke at least six months ago. Participants use the HWARD exoskeleton, which assists hand opening and closing, during 45-minute sessions three times a week for 12 weeks. The goal is to see if robot-assisted training helps restore hand function better than standard therapy alone.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
robot-assisted training using the In motion robotic gym system (HWARD device)
What this could lead to
If effective, this robotic training could become a standard therapy to help stroke survivors regain hand function and independence.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with 34 participants, so results may not apply to all stroke patients. The device may not outperform conventional therapy.

Study facts

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ranged from 40 to 60 years old. * Clinical diagnosis of ischemic stroke and diagnosis confirmed by CT or MRI with hand impairments. * Stroke started since six months (at chronic stage) * Mild to moderate upper limb functional limitation according to (Fugl-Meyer score: 85-99). * Ability to understand and follow instructions and to provide informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * More than one stroke. * Other current significant impairment of the upper limb affected by stroke, e.g. fixed contracture, frozen shoulder, severe arthritis, recent fracture. * Diagnosis likely to interfere with rehabilitation or outcome assessments, e.g. registered blind. * Previous use of the InMotion robotic gym system or other arm rehabilitation robot. * Current participation in a rehabilitation trial evaluating upper limb rehabilitation after stroke
