Exoneuromusculoskeleton for Upper Limb Rehabilitation After Stroke
Mobile Electromyography (EMG)-Driven Exoneuromusculoskeleton for Upper Limb Rehabilitation After Stroke
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 23 Jun 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
A new clothing robotic arm was developed for multi-joint coordinated upper limb rehabilitation after stroke. Patients after stroke will be recruited to evaluate the rehabilitation effectiveness of the device assisted upper limb rehabilitation. Both patients with chronic stroke and subacute stroke will be investigated.

Other illness
- Subjects will be excluded if they do not meet the above inclusion criteria, or had the following conditions:
- Post-stroke neglect
- The overall medical condition not suitable for the training (e.g., severe cardiac problem, unstable blood pressure, etc.).
Other
- Currently pregnant
- Dysphasia (language deficiency)
- Pacemaker implantation,
Who the study is looking for

- Able to sit up for at least 1 hour
- Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) upper limb \<30
- Modified Ashworth Score (MAS) at the elbow, wrist and fingers \<3
- Detectable EMG on the target driving muscles (i.e., 3 times of the standard deviation above the baseline)
- For the chronic device assisted group:
- At least 0.5 year after the onset of stroke
- Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)\>21
- Able to sit up for at least 1 hour
