Efficacy of a Bilateral Robotic Treatment in Chronic Patients
Sponsor: University of Pisa
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate how manual dominance influences the effectiveness of bilateral robotic treatment in right-handed patients with chronic stroke. Researchers will compare the outcome of a bilateral robotic treatment for the upper limbs in left vs right hemisphere lesions following stroke. Participants will: * perform a bilateral robotic treatment for the upper limb (15 sessions in three weeks) followed by 20-minutes standard manual rehabilitative sessions * be evaluated before and after treatment with clinical scales, resting- state EEG and kinematic measurements

Conditions
Interventions
Bilateral robotic treatment for the upper limbs
Patients will perform a specific sequence of exercises with the exoskeleton for the upper limbs ALEx-RS, including passive and active-assisted movements, unilateral and bilateral reaching tasks with visual feedback, and symmetric and asymmetric bimanual coordination tasks.
Standard physiotherapy
After the robotic treatment, patients will undergo 20 minutes of conventional treatment consisting of passive and active-assisted mobilization with the help of a physiotherapist.
