ExoNET for Supination Assistance in Stroke Survivors

This study is testing a new device called the ExoNET, which is a passive robotic device designed to help stroke survivors move their forearm outwards (supination). Researchers want to see if the ExoNET is safe, practical, and effective in helping your forearm muscles work better and increase your range of motion. You might be able to join if you are between 40 and 70 years old, had a single stroke at least 8 months ago, and have moderate to severe weakness in your arm. The study will look at how well your arm moves using a test called the Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) over three weeks. The current status of this study is unclear.

Study design
This interventional study plans to enroll 30 participants to test three different settings of the ExoNET device: assistance, sham (placebo), and anti-assistance.
What's involved
Participants will have evaluations at week 1 (baseline), week 2 (after treatment), and week 3 (after treatment). During these times, you will perform daily activities while wearing the ExoNET.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for two weeks after the initial baseline evaluation, with assessments at week 2 and week 3.
