Robot-Assisted Arm Training After Stroke Recovery

This trial is testing a new type of arm rehabilitation for people in the early recovery phase after a stroke. Half of participants will use a bilateral robotic exoskeleton (a wearable device that helps move both arms together) combined with standard therapy, while the other half will receive conventional arm exercises with a therapist. The study wants to see if the robotic device helps people recover better arm strength and function than traditional therapy alone.

Many stroke survivors struggle with arm weakness and loss of function, which can persist for months or years. Recent robotic technologies show promise for helping with recovery, but no one has tested whether using a device that trains both arms together works better than standard therapy for people in the early recovery phase after a stroke.
