Integrative Upper-Limb Rehabilitation with<i>BrightArm Duo</i>TM in the Early Sub-Acute Phase of Recovery Post-Stroke

摘要

The Bright Arm Duo is a low-friction robotic rehabilitation table that adaptably trains dual arm movement and grasp through interaction with serious games. In early sub-acute phase post-stroke, [Formula: see text] experimental group received conventional rehabilitation plus 12 BrightArm Duo sessions, each inducing up to 600 arm and hand repetitions. [Formula: see text] control group received conventional rehabilitation only. Improvement for the experimental group was better than controls across 11 of 12 functional metrics and activities of daily living ([Formula: see text]).
