Progressive Transition From Supervised to Unsupervised Robot-Assisted Therapy After Stroke: Protocol for a Single-Group, Interventional Feasibility Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Increasing the dose of therapy delivered to patients with stroke may improve functional outcomes and quality of life. Unsupervised technology-assisted rehabilitation is a promising way to increase the dose of therapy without dramatically increasing the burden on the health care system. Despite the many existing technologies for unsupervised rehabilitation, active rehabilitation robots have rarely been tested in a fully unsupervised way. Furthermore, the outcomes of unsupervised technology-assisted therapy (eg, feasibility, acceptance, and increase in therapy dose) vary widely. This might be due to the use of different technologies as well as to the broad range of methods applied to teach the patients how to independently train with a technology.
