-
Kinematic analysis of hand and arm movement in kids with Down syndrome, CP and healthy children
This study tests how well an instrumented Box and Block Test and motion tracking can measure upper-limb movement in healthy kids and those with pyramidal hemisyndrome or Down syndrome.
-
Quadriceps muscle activity and gait in people after stroke with stiff-knee gait vs healthy controls
We will test whether quadriceps muscle activity and walking movement differ between adults with post-stroke stiff-knee gait and healthy adults.
-
Home-based vs. in-clinic upper extremity rehabilitation after stroke
This study tests whether a 20-hour home telerehabilitation program (tele-CPASS) works as well as the same in-clinic CPASS therapy for improving arm and hand function after stroke.
-
Task-oriented training with ankle stimulation to improve balance in children with hemiparesis
This study tests whether combining task-focused training with electrical stimulation of the ankle dorsiflexor muscles helps improve balance in children with hemiparesis.
-
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation to improve heart-autonomic function after stroke
This test adds rTMS to usual neurological rehabilitation to see if it improves heart rate variability, autonomic symptoms, arm strength, and quality of life in people at least three months after a stroke.
-
Spatial StimelMD for upper-limb recovery after stroke or traumatic brain injury
This trial will test whether adding the Spatial StimelMD device to standard rehabilitation helps adults with upper-limb weakness after stroke or traumatic brain injury improve arm movement.
-
BAM Index: measuring arm and hand behavior in infants and toddlers
This project tries a set of behavioral measurements to see if they can reliably describe arm, hand, and other developmental skills in infants and toddlers with and without perinatal stroke or hemiparetic cerebral palsy.
-
Balancing while picking up objects for people with hemiparesis
We will test whether shifting more weight onto the stronger leg helps people with hemiparesis stay steadier when picking up objects from the ground.
-
Botulinum toxin A injections to improve movement in children with spastic hemiparesis
This project will try botulinum toxin type A injections in children aged 8–17 with spastic hemiparesis (GMFCS I–II) to see if their motor function and quality of life improve.
-
Wrist-worn device to encourage use of the weaker arm after a recent stroke
This trial tests whether a wrist-worn sensor system plus motor and behavioral home coaching helps people 1–6 months after a stroke with moderate arm weakness use their affected arm more than a usual home-exercise program.
-
Mapping brain activity during shoulder movement in stroke patients
This study is testing how the brain works during shoulder movements in stroke survivors to find new ways to help them regain control of their movements.
-
Sensory nerve stimulation to improve hand and arm function in children with hemiparesis
This trial will try adding 5 weeks of sensory afferent electrostimulation (SAES) to usual therapy to see if it helps children aged 6–18 with hemiparesis improve sensation and movement in the affected upper limb.
-
Effects of electrical stimulation cycling for stroke recovery
This study tests if using electrical stimulation while cycling can help people with weakness on one side after a stroke improve their heart fitness better than regular cycling.
-
Using the Atalante exoskeleton to help stroke patients walk again
This study is testing if using the Atalante exoskeleton can help stroke patients walk better compared to regular therapy.
-
Using the Atalante exoskeleton to help stroke patients walk again
This study is testing if using the Atalante exoskeleton can help stroke patients walk better compared to regular therapy.
-
Investigating the effects of placebo on stroke recovery
This study is testing how different types of placebo treatments can help people recovering from a stroke feel better and improve their brain function.
-
Non-invasive brain stimulation techniques for neurological rehabilitation
This study is testing a new brain stimulation method called 'mirror-PAS' to see if it can help people with neurological conditions like stroke and phantom limb pain recover movement and feel less pain compared to standard methods.
-
Wrist sensor system to increase use of the weak arm at home after stroke
This program will test whether wearing the StrokeWear wrist sensor combined with a motor and behavioral home program helps chronic stroke survivors with hemiparesis use their affected arm more than a standard home-exercise plan.
-
Improving control of advanced robotic limb devices for stroke patients
This study is testing a new way to help stroke patients with limited movement use robotic limb devices more effectively by improving how these devices read muscle signals.
-
Exploring neuroplasticity through proprioceptive rehabilitation with muscle vibrations
This study is testing if using muscle vibrations can help improve brain recovery and movement in people who are healing from a stroke or brain injury.
-
Wearable ankle robot therapy for post-stroke foot drop
This study will test whether adding a wearable ankle robot to physical therapy helps adults with post-stroke foot drop walk better than physical therapy alone.
-
An active hand device to help stroke patients regain hand function
This study is testing a new hand device to see if it can help stroke patients regain better hand function and make everyday tasks easier.
-
Home-based retraining of hand function for stroke survivors using a new device
This study is testing a new home device to see if it can help stroke survivors improve their hand function better than traditional therapy.
-
Motor and cognitive function testing for people with brain injury and cerebral palsy
This project will test combined motor and thinking assessments and new therapy ideas for children and adults with brain damage such as cerebral palsy or stroke who have upper‑limb weakness or neglect.
-
Using a robotic exoskeleton for rehabilitation after stroke
This study tests whether using a robotic exoskeleton can help stroke patients recover their walking abilities better than regular therapy.
NIH-funded research (1)
Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.
-
Understanding and improving recovery from arm weakness after a stroke
This study is looking at how stroke patients with weakness on one side of their body can recover their arm function better by understanding how their brains work during rehabilitation, so they can get more personalized help to improve their recovery.
