Robot-assisted therapy in stratified intervention: a randomized controlled trial on poststroke motor recovery.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To compare the effects of robot-assisted therapy with conventional therapy for accelerating stratified intervention in poststroke patients with upper limb dysfunction.

Background

For stroke survivors, recovery of upper extremity function remains a major challenge in rehabilitation. Literature has suggested that the rate of recovery may improve if treatments can be individualized to their clinical profiles. However, there still lack clinical evidence on how to create treatment tailored to individual patients. Robot-assisted Therapy (RT) provides a straightforward approach to adjustment of the assistance-resistance continuum for individual patients. In early Brunnstrom stages of recovery, patients benefit from assistance training, whereas in later stages the training
