Efficacy of Assistive Soft Gloves in Chronic Stroke Rehabilitation
Soft Rehabilitation Gloves as Assistive Technology: Enhancing Upper Limb Motor Function and Activities of Daily Living in Chronic Stroke-A Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 13 Jan 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Stroke is a leading cause of disability, with hemiparesis affecting approximately 85% of survivors, particularly affecting the upper limbs, which play a critical role in the activities of daily living (ADLs). While robot-assisted rehabilitation (RAR) is gaining increasing attention owing to its capacity for intensive, repetitive, and task-specific training that promotes neuroplasticity, robot-assisted hand rehabilitation (RAHR) is not yet part of standard protocols and is understudied. This study investigated the effects of a soft rehabilitation glove (SRG) applied in addition to traditional neurorehabilitation on upper limb motor function and ADLs in individuals with chronic stroke.

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Other illness
- Individuals with active reflex sympathetic dystrophy, active arthritis, fractures, circulatory disorders, or bone malignancies in the affected upper limbs.
- Individuals with cognitive or behavioral disorders that would hinder participation in the treatment program.
- Individuals allergic to N Cloth and Lycra.
Other
- Individuals with severe dystonia.
- Those with severe soft tissue and/or joint contractures in the upper limbs.
- Those with peripheral nerve injuries in the affected upper limb.
- Those with aphasia and apraxia at a level that would hinder participation in the treatment program.
Who the study is looking for
- Individuals aged 18 and above who have experienced cerebrovascular events confirmed by neuroimaging and are planned to be enrolled in a neurological rehabilitation treatment program.
- Those whose event date was more than 3 (three) months.
- Individuals with upper limb and hand assessment of 3 or above according to the Brunnstrom Motor Assessment Scale.
- Those with spasticity level of 2 and below in upper limb muscle groups according the Modified Ashworth Scale.
- Individuals scoring 24 and above on the Standardized Mini-Mental Test.
