  8. Women who are pregnant, nursing, or who plan to become pregnant while in the trial.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) motor score

    Change from baseline in Fugl-Meyer Assessment Upper Extremity (Motor Function Subscale) The Fugl-Meyer Assessment Upper Extremity motor score is a clinician-rated measure of upper limb motor impairment following neurological injury. Scores range from 0 to 66, with higher scores representing less impairment and better motor function. Time Frame: Baseline to post-treatment (3 weeks).

    Time frame: Baseline to post-treatment (end of treatment, 3 weeks)

Secondary outcomes

  1. change in Movement range and movement quality (SSMD assessment mode)

    Change from baseline to post-treatment in movement range and movement quality as assessed using the SSMD system assessment mode.

    Time frame: Baseline to post-treatment (end of treatment, Week 3)

  2. Change in Functional Independence Measure (FIM) score

    Change from baseline to post-treatment in activities of daily living as measured by the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) total score (range 18-126, higher scores indicate greater independence and better functional outcome). Time Frame: Baseline to end of treatment (Week 3).

    Time frame: Baseline to post-treatment (end of treatment, Week 3)

  3. Change in EMG signal strength (threshold)

    Change from baseline to post-treatment in electromyography (EMG) signal strength (threshold) during device-assisted assessment.

    Time frame: Baseline to post-treatment (end of treatment, Week 3)

Other outcomes

  1. Change in Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS)

    Change from baseline to post-treatment in spasticity as measured by the Modified Ashworth Scale (range 0-4; higher scores indicate greater spasticity and worse outcome). Time Frame: Baseline to end of treatment (Week 3).

    Time frame: Baseline to post-treatment (end of treatment, Week 3)

  2. Change in Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) score

    Change from baseline to post-treatment in Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) score (range 0-100; higher scores indicate better function and less stroke impact). Time Frame: Baseline to end of treatment (Week 3).

    Time frame: Baseline to post-treatment (end of treatment, Week 3)

  3. Change in NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score

    Change from baseline to post-treatment in National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score (range 0-42; higher scores indicate more severe neurologic deficit and worse outcome). Time Frame: Baseline to end of treatment (Week 3).

    Time frame: Baseline to post-treatment (end of treatment, Week 3)

  4. Change in Active Range of Motion (AROM) measured by goniometer

    Change from baseline to post-treatment in active range of motion (AROM) (0-70 degrees), measured by goniometer.

    Time frame: Baseline to post-treatment (end of treatment, Week 3)

  5. System Usability Scale (SUS) score

    System usability assessed by the System Usability Scale (SUS) (range 0-100; higher scores indicate better usability). Time Frame: Post-treatment (Week 3).

    Time frame: Post-treatment (end of treatment, Week 3)

  6. Adverse events (AEs)

    Frequency and severity of all adverse events (AEs), related or unrelated to study treatment.

    Time frame: Baseline through end of follow-up (up to 6 weeks)

  7. Observer usability questionnaire score

    Observer-reported usability will be assessed using a custom Observer Usability Questionnaire evaluating effectiveness and efficiency of device use (e.g., task accuracy, ease of navigation, and assistance required). Questionnaire items are rated on a 5-point scale (1 = poorest performance/usability, 5 = best performance/usability). An overall usability score will be calculated as the mean of the rated items, with higher scores indicating better usability and task performance. Time Frame: Post-treatment (end of treatment, Week 3).

    Time frame: Post-treatment (end of treatment, Week 3)

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

Start is estimated for Dec 2026; primary completion for Dec 2026, 0 months later.

Of 144 industry-sponsored interventional studies with no phase under Stroke, half reached primary completion within 24 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 43. This study's planned 0 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 3,252 studies reached it within 23 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 46.

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 Feb 11, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
