Effects of EMG-based robot for upper extremity rehabilitation on post-stroke patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Objective: A growing body of research shows the promise and efficacy of EMG-based robot interventions in improving the motor function in stroke survivors. However, it is still controversial whether the effect of EMG-based robot is more effective than conventional therapies. This study focused on the effects of EMG-based robot on upper limb motor control, spasticity and activity limitation in stroke survivors compared with conventional rehabilitation techniques. Methods: We searched electronic databases for relevant randomized controlled trials. Outcomes included Fugl-Meyer assessment scale (FMA), Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), and activity level. Result: Thirteen studies with 330 subjects were included. The results showed that the outcomes post intervention was signifi
