Robot-mediated impairment-oriented and task-specific training on upper limb post stroke: feasibility and preliminary effects on physical function and quality of life.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To assess the feasibility and safety of conducting robot-mediated impairment training (RMIT) and robot-mediated task-specific training (RMTT). The device deployed is the Optimo Regen (OR^®), capable of delivering both impairment-oriented training and task-specific training.

Methods

This was a single-centre, randomized, single-blinded, two-arm, parallel group, controlled trial. Patients fulfilling criteria were randomized into either the RMIT or RMIT + RMTT group and provided with 20 h of robotic therapy on top of standard care.

Results

A total of 4 patients were recruited, with 2 patients receiving treatment in each arm. The study was feasible, with a 66.7% enrolment rate, 75% completion rate, and 100% attendance for each intervention session. We a
