Robot-Aided Rehabilitation for Stroke Recovery

This study is observing how the arm and hand recover after a stroke. Researchers are using a special robot called the IntelliArm to measure how your arm and hand move and feel. They want to understand how stiffness and other changes in your arm and hand progress over six months after a stroke. This study is for people aged 18 to 85 who have had their first stroke less than a month ago and have certain levels of arm and hand impairment. The main goal is to see how your arm and hand function, measured by the Graded Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT), changes over six months. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This is an observational study planning to enroll 56 participants. It is not a treatment study, but rather aims to understand how stroke recovery progresses.
What's involved
You would have your arm and hand function measured at seven time points: at baseline (2 weeks post-stroke), and then at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 months after your stroke.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for six months after their stroke.

What this trial measures

  • Changes from baseline Graded Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) at six time points2 week (baseline), 1 month, 2 month, 3 month, 4 month, 5 month and 6 month post stroke

    The WMFT is a quantitative measure of upper extremity motor ability through timed and functional tasks.
