Study summary

Repetitious motor therapy has been shown to yield the greatest improvement in motor function in those who suffer hemiplegia because of a neurological impairment. However, motor therapy remains largely clinically based due to the absence of quantitative home-based therapy technology or equipment. With the current lack of accountability, patient adherence to home exercise physical therapy programs is estimated to be as low as 35%. In response, some companies have extended the applications of their motion capture devices to be used for home-based physical therapy. However, the technologies often have not passed their initial stages of development. In contrast, a company named 4D Motion is actively working alongside the Restorative Neurology Clinic at Burke Medical Research Institute to develop a motion capture system tailored to the motor rehabilitation of hemiplegic stroke patients. This device is driven by a user's active range of motion and does not impart electrical or mechanical stimulation to the user. The device does not force the user beyond their active range of motion and does not apply resistance to motion that limits the user's capability. The 4D Motion capture system is only used to record what the patient is doing and to promote adherence to their prescribed physical therapy plan.

    Training with 4D Motion Capture Device

    Participants will be given access to a tablet-based application and non-invasive sensors that will track movements of the upper extremity and will prompt daily exercise. Participants will be encouraged to use the device daily for 30 consecutive days, up to one hour per day.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of treatment days completed

    Measure of the number of days that the participant adheres to the prescribed therapy plan (completion of 1000 movements). Goal is to have participants perform 1000 movements per day over 30 days.

    Time frame: From day 1 to day 30 of intervention

  2. Change in active range of motion of shoulder, elbow, and wrist

    Maximum angular position about a joint that the participant can reach without assistance.

    Time frame: From day 1 to day 30 of intervention

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in Fugl Meyer upper extremity assessment

    Clinical scale that measures upper extremity impairment in stroke patients

    Time frame: From day 1 to day 30 of intervention

  2. Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale

    Survey of how well a participant enjoyed the study treatment.

    Time frame: Day 30 of intervention

  3. System usability survey

    Survey of user-friendliness of software and device

    Time frame: Day 30 of intervention

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Feb 2018 to primary completion in Jun 2018, 4 months.

Of 71 non-industry phase 1 interventional studies under Stroke, half reached primary completion within 29 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 45. This study's 4 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 97 studies reached it within 20 months; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 38.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 10, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
