About this study
Pilot study on the physiological response of robotic rehabilitation therapy for improving the performance of activities of daily living of stroke patients
Read the detailed description
The purpose of this research is to study the feasibility of the robotic therapy that can train activities of daily living tasks for chronic stroke patients. The participant will be involved in a feasibility study (one-time visit) to prove the efficacy of the robotic device with different force feedback (assistive and resistive force) and other feedback such as VR (virtual reality). We will collect movement data from a motion capture system and sEMG sensors that measure muscle activity to monitor the effect of a robotic rehabilitation device, named Spherical Parallel Instrument for Daily Living Emulation (SPINDLE). We will use a robotic therapy device to practice activities during daily living. This pilot study will be used to understand the effect of SPINDLE to translate the device as a home-based training for chronic stroke patients.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Emulation of Active Daily Living tasks with a robotic device (SPINDLE)Device
SPINDLE will provide an assistive and resistive force to aid in rehabilitating the subject's upper limb
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Participant with Chronic stroke | 1. Participants over 18 years of age
2. Participants should be able to understand the verbal cues during the training Receives: Device: Emulation of Active Daily Living tasks with a robotic device (SPINDLE) |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Kinematic change of the upper limb during ADLs
The max and range of motion of shoulder, elbow, and wrist joint for each task
Measured: immediately after the intervention
Score of activities of daily living(ADL) tasks
We will use ARM-ULA standard score sheet to measure the performance of ADLs
Measured: immediately after the intervention
Muscle activation change of the upper limb during ADLs
The subject will be asked to perform activities of daily living tasks with the passive SPINDLE. Upper limb range of motion and muscle activation will be quantified.
Measured: immediately after the intervention
Secondary outcomes (1)
Usability measure
Questionnaire will be provided to the user to obtain qualitative feedback
Measured: immediately after the intervention

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Kinematic change of the upper limb during ADLs (time frame: immediately after the intervention). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Oct 2026.
