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.
After a stroke, many people struggle to regain hand and arm movement. This trial is testing whether a special type of therapy called neurocognitive therapy works better when combined with a soft robotic glove that helps move your hand. The robotic glove is designed to help your brain and muscles relearn how to work together, while the therapy focuses on helping you sense and control your hand position.
About 70% of stroke survivors have some difficulty moving their hands and arms. Doctors want to know if using this robotic glove alongside standard hand therapy can help people recover better and faster than therapy alone.

You will attend therapy sessions 3 times per week for 12 weeks. Each session lasts 45 minutes and includes 30 minutes of neurocognitive therapy (where you'll wear a blindfold and focus on sensing your hand position) plus 15 minutes of routine physical therapy. Depending on which group you're assigned to, you may use the soft robotic glove during your sessions, or you may receive the same therapy without the glove. The researchers want to compare how well each approach helps your hand recover.
