A Comparative Efficacy Study of Robotic Priming of Bilateral Approach in Stroke Rehabilitation.

ABSTRACT: Background: Stroke survivors can remain impaired in body functions, activity, and participation. A novel rehabilitation regimen is required to obtain scientific evidence and to help clinicians determine effective interventions for stroke. Mirror therapy (MT) and bilateral upper limb training (BULT) are based on the tenet of bilateral movement practice; however, the additional effect of bilateral robotic priming combined with these two therapies is unclear. Objectives: This study examined the effects of two hybrid therapies, robotic priming combined with MT and robotic priming combined with BULT, in stroke survivors. Methodology: The study randomized 31 participants to groups that received robotic priming combined with MT (n = 15) or robotic priming combined with
