This trial is looking for people who have had a stroke and have weakness on one side of the body. Participants will use a special robot to help with rehabilitation while in bed during the early recovery stage after a stroke.
You may be able to join if
- I have had a first time stroke affecting one side of my brain.
- I have weakness or paralysis in my arm or leg on one side.
- I have low muscle strength in my affected arm or leg.
- I am between 30 and 85 years old.
- I have stiffness or movement issues in my ankle.
You may not be able to join if
- I am not medically stable.
- I have a serious medical condition that affects my ability to exercise.
- I have no ankle issues or very minor problems.
- I have major heart problems that limit my movement.
- I have trouble understanding instructions.
- I have severe pain in my legs.
- I have a serious problem with my ankle's ability to move.
- I have open wounds or skin issues below my knee.

Check Your EligibilityThis project will develop a wearable rehabilitation robot suitable for in-bed acute stage rehabilitation. It involves robot-guided motor relearning, passive and active motor-sensory rehabilitation early in the acute stage post-stroke including patients who are paralyzed with no motor output. The early acute stroke rehabilitation device will be evaluated in this clinical trial.
