Who can take part
AI summary
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adults aged 40 to 80 who had a first stroke 2 weeks to 6 months ago and have weak arm movement on one side.
- Age
- 40 to 80 years
- Sex
- All sexes can join.
- Disease stage
- First-ever stroke confirmed by CT or MRI, with paralysis of the limbs on one side. The stroke happened between 2 weeks and 6 months ago. FMA-UE score of 8-44.
Main reasons for not taking part
- History of neuromuscular disease, malignant tumor, or other severe uncontrolled heart, kidney or liver disease
- Cannot keep a sitting position for more than 60 minutes, or seated balance score < 2
- Modified Ashworth Scale score > 2
- Hamilton Depression Scale score > 17 (moderate to severe depressive symptoms)
- Taking part in another clinical trial that may interfere with the results

About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
This study aims to investigate the effects of motor-cognitive interactive robot-assisted training on improving upper limb motor dysfunction after stroke. By observing different combinations of motor and cognitive components in the training, the study will clarify the relationship between the proportion of motor and cognitive elements and the recovery of upper limb motor function. The goal is to optimize the training protocol for upper limb rehabilitation robots and enhance their therapeutic outcomes.

Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: motor-cognitive interactive robot-assisted training, motor-focused robot-assisted training, or conventional rehabilitation training. Training sessions will last 60 minutes, occur 5 times per week, and continue for 4 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in upper limb function and monitor for any adverse events during the training.
