Feasibility, safety, and efficacy of task-oriented mirrored robotic training on upper-limb functions and activities of daily living in subacute poststroke patients: a pilot study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Robotic training with high repetitions facilitates upper-limb movements but provides fewer benefits for activities of daily living. Integrating activities of daily living training tasks and mirror therapy into a robot may enhance the functional gains of robotic training.

Aim

The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of the task-oriented mirrored upper-limb robotic training on the upper-limb functions and activities of daily living of subacute poststroke patients.

Design

This study is a single-blinded, active-controlled pilot study.

Setting

The study was carried out at rehabilitation outpatient clinic and ward.

Population

A total of 32 subacute poststroke patients were enrolled in the study.
