Study Summary

This trial will help improve stroke rehab, allowing those in later stages to benefit from tech-assisted therapy, improving quality of life.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals aged 18 to 88 who have had a stroke at least six months ago, leading to arm weakness. They should be medically stable and able to follow directions for gamified therapy tasks. A score of 50 or less on the Fugl-Meyer upper extremity test is required.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests robot-assisted training as a rehabilitation method for those with impaired arm function due to stroke. It aims to identify which patients benefit most and how brain structures influence recovery when using technology-assisted therapy.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While specific side effects are not listed, participants may experience fatigue or discomfort from repetitive movements during robot-assisted training sessions.

What type of individuals does this research invite to take part?

"Qualified participants for this clinical trial must be between 18 and 88 years old, have hemiparesis, with the total number of accepted enrollees capping at 10."

Answered by AI

What is the current capacity of participants for this experiment?

"Affirmative. According to clinicaltrials.gov, this trial is still actively seeking participants. It was initially advertised on 14th December 2022 and the details were most recently modified on 1st February 2023. 10 patients are needed from single site for enrolment in this study."

Answered by AI

What is the principal purpose of this clinical research?

"The primary assessment for this trial will be monitored through the participants' baseline MRI scans, and evaluated over the course of four weeks. Secondary outcomes include changes in NIH Stroke Scale Score (with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms), arm kinematics position measurements collected by rehabilitation technology devices, as well as velocity metrics from similar tools."
