Robot-based Therapy for Upper Limb Sensorimotor Impairments After Stroke

NCT05007002 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 10

Last updated 2022-07-20

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

After a stroke, more than two out of three patients experience problems with upper limb movement and sensation. Current evidence on treatment of upper limb sensory impairments is scarce and shows unclear results. Robot-based therapy has been increasingly used to treat upper limb motor impairments, with similar positive results as compared to conventional therapy. This study aims to investigate a novel robot-based therapy program for treatment of upper limb sensory impairments. The therapy program consists of 10 one-hour session spread over 4 weeks and will be evaluated for its effect in 20 chronic stroke patients. The investigators hypothesize that a 4-week robot-based therapy program can improve upper limb sensation and movement.
