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 trial is testing a new approach to help stroke survivors regain use of their weaker arm using wearable sensors and a smartphone app. Small sensors worn on your wrist and finger will track how much you move your affected arm, and an app will show you this data in real-time while a therapist helps you set goals and overcome barriers to using that arm. The goal is to motivate you to use your weaker arm more throughout your day.
Many stroke survivors stop using their weaker arm because it feels difficult, even when they have some strength and movement left. This trial is testing whether seeing your own activity data and getting personalized goals and support from a therapist can motivate you to use that arm more, which could help improve your recovery.

You will participate for 4 weeks total. During the first week (baseline), you'll wear small sensors on both wrists and index fingers and record your activities using the app. Starting in week 2, you'll continue wearing the sensors and use the app to see your daily activity data and goals set with a therapist. You'll also have two video calls with a therapist to review your progress, discuss ways to use your weaker arm more, and adjust your goals. Before and after the 4-week study, you'll complete some clinical assessments to measure changes in your arm function.
