Read our Stroke research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether a smart camera system called PostureCheck can help improve arm strength and function in people recovering from stroke. You would receive 18 sessions of robot-assisted arm therapy, either one-on-one with a therapist or in a small group. The PostureCheck system uses artificial intelligence to watch your movements and give real-time feedback about your exercise form.
After a stroke, many people struggle to regain full use of their arms. Therapists want to know if having a camera system monitor your exercise quality — especially during group therapy — can lead to better recovery outcomes than therapy alone.

You will attend 18 therapy sessions over several weeks at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston. If you are randomly assigned to individual therapy, you will work one-on-one with a therapist using a robotic arm device. If assigned to group therapy, you will work with up to two other participants in the same session, and the PostureCheck camera system will track everyone's form to help the therapist provide better feedback. Each session involves practicing arm movements with the robotic system.
