Summary

In the present study, the RMTC finger-hand robot and combined with the mechanism of neuroplasticity will be used on the upper-limb rehabilitation of stroke patients. The participants will be randomized assigned to treatment group (TG, robot assisted treatment) and control group (CG, conventional treatment). In the experimental group, task oriented bi-manual training will be applied using the unaffected hand to guide the affected hand by RMTC robot system. The investigators will estimate the motor function of distal part of upper-limb before and after treatments. The results will be compared with the convention rehabilitation treatment. The primary outcomes are Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA); and the secondary outcome measurements are modified Ashworth scale (MAS),Action Reach Arm Test (ARAT), Box \& block test、Brunnstrom recovery Stage, and motor activity log (MAL).

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

RMTC finger-hand robot (Mirror Hand)

The robotic hand will apply on the patient's affected hand and the sensor glove will apply on the patient's un-affected hand, the patient can manipulate their affected hand by their un-affected hand and do the task oriented bimanual training.

OTHER

Conventional OT

The focus of occupational therapy is to help individuals achieve health, well-being, and participation in life through engagement in activities (American Occupational Therapy Association \[AOTA\], 2014). For stroke rehabilitation, occupational therapy includes retraining in self-care skills, addressing ongoing deficits such as weakness, sensory loss, and cognitive impairments that limit engagement in activities of daily living, and training in community reintegration and modifying tasks or environments.
