Evaluation of finger strength and spasticity in hemiplegic patients using hand-finger robotic device: A validity and reliability study.

ABSTRACT: We aimed to investigate the validity, reliability, and clinical relevance of Amadeo hand-finger robotic rehabilitation system measurements for evaluating spasticity and strength in hemiplegic patients. In total, 161 participants (107 hemiplegic patients and 54 sex- and age-matched healthy controls) were included in this study. Spasticity was evaluated using the Modified Ashworth Scale, hand motor functions were evaluated using the Fugl-Meyer Assessment Hand Subscale, and hand grip and pinch strength were evaluated using the Jamar hand grip and pinch dynamometer. The Amadeo (Tyromotion) hand-finger robotic rehabilitation system was used to evaluate finger spasticity and strength of the participants. A statistically significant difference was found between the median values of the Modified A
