Feasibility of Video Gaming Technology for Arm Recovery Early Post-stroke
Translating SMARTS 2: the Integration of Video Gaming Technology Into Traditional Rehabilitation
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 16 Mar 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The investigators are investigating ways to incorporate new technologies that can enhance functional outcome after neurological insult into the patient recovery space. In order to accelerate the translation of these technologies to patient care spaces, the investigators need to identify the locations that are feasible for its use. Currently the investigators are using video game technologies that are used to maximize motor recovery of impaired upper extremities after neurological insult in the outpatient (clinic) setting. These technologies interface with robotics and other hardware to create a therapy experience that is fun, engaging, dynamic, challenging, and promotes repetitions that are otherwise difficult to achieve during conventional post-stroke rehabilitation. The investigators think early use of these technologies could enhance recovery of the arm, but It is not known if use of these technologies in the early post-stroke recovery period is safe and feasible.
