Robots help recover brain power in Parkinson's, MS, and stroke patients
NCT ID NCT07384143
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether sensor-based robotic arm rehabilitation can improve both thinking skills (like memory and attention) and physical movement in adults with Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, or stroke. Participants will receive 25 sessions of either robotic therapy with virtual reality or standard therapy. Researchers will compare changes in cognitive tests and motor function between the two groups.
