The Effect of Robot-Assisted Training on Arm Function, Walking, Balance, and Activities of Daily Living After Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: This meta-analysis aimed to compare the effects of robot-assisted training (RAT) with those of conventional therapy (CT), considering the potential sources of heterogeneity in the previous studies. We searched three international electronic databases (MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library) to identify relevant studies. Risk of bias assessment was performed using the Cochrane's Risk of Bias 1.0 tool. The certainty of the evidence was evaluated using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations method. The meta-analyses for each outcome of the respective domains were performed using 24 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on robot-assisted arm training (RAAT) for arm function, 7 RCTs on RAAT for activities of daily living (ADL), 12 RCTs on robot-assisted gait t
