Robot-Assisted Therapy in Chronic Stroke Patients
Sponsor: Afyonkarahisar Health Sciences University
Summary
Considering the paucity of studies on robotic hand therapy, larger-scale and long-term follow-up studies are needed. The aim in this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of robot-assisted hand therapy in patients with chronic stroke and to compare this effectiveness in patients with different Brunnstrom stages.
Official title: Investigation of the Effects of Robot-Assisted Therapy Added to Conventional Therapy on Hand Functions, Spasticity and Quality of Life in Patients With Chronic Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial

robotic rehabilitation
In addition to conventional therapy, the robotic therapy group was planned to receive robotic rehabilitation with a hand-finger robot \[Amadeo (Tyromotion, Graz, Austria)\] for 45 minutes, accompanied by a physiotherapist trained in robotic rehabilitation and with at least 5 years of experience. A total of 20 treatment sessions will be applied 2 days a week.
conventional rehabilitation
It was planned for the conventional therapy group to receive an exercise program consisting of 45 minutes of active, passive range of motion exercises and strengthening exercises, accompanied by a physiotherapist with at least 5 years of experience in stroke rehabilitation. A total of 20 treatment sessions will be applied 2 days a week.
