Summary

Task-specific repetitive training, an usual care in occupational therapy practice, and robotic-aided rehabilitation with bilateral practice to improve limb's movement control has been popularised; however the difference in treatment effects between this two therapeutic strategies has been rarely described. The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy of robotic-assisted therapy with bilateral practice (RTBP) and usual care on task and motor performance for chronic stroke patients.

Interventions

OTHER

Robotic-assisted Therapy with Bilateral Practice

40-minute robotic-assisted therapy with bilateral practice program for wrist and forearm repetitive movement training was performed during each session.

OTHER

Unilateral Task-specific Training

40 -minute unilateral task-specific training using various tasks: picks up beans with spoon, pouring water from one glass to another glass, opening and closing a drawer, drinking from a mug, and wiping the table were chosen for facilitating multitude of upper extremity functions. Three tasks per session were chosen for various specific components of hand-arm function training.

OTHER

Sensorimotor Stimulation Program

10-minute sensorimotor stimulation program with repetitive range of motion exercises of upper extremity, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and Rood approach
