Effects of Intensive Vibratory Treatment with a Robotic System on the Recovery of Sensation and Function in Patients with Subacute and Chronic Stroke: A Non-Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sensory-motor deficits are frequent and affect the functionality after stroke. The use of robotic systems to improve functionality and motor performance is advisable; therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of intensive, high-frequency vibration treatment administered with a robotic system in subacute and chronic stroke patients in terms of upper limb sensitivity, motor function, quantity and quality of movement, and quality of life.

Methods

A simple-blind, non-randomized controlled trial was conducted. The control group received conventional rehabilitation treatment and the experimental group received robotic treatment with an Amadeo^® robot in addition to their conventional rehabilitation sessions.
