Summary

Selective nerve transfers provide an opportunity for restoring the motor function after nerve injuries. Upper-limb robot-assisted therapy has been established as a safe and feasible treatment to complement rehabilitation after neurological injury. The aim of this study is to explore the combined effects of Hand Training with Robotic Glove on fine and gross motor function and activities of daily living in patients after median nerve transfer. The study will be randomized controlled trial. Participants will be recruited through non probability convenience sampling technique. After screening for eligibility, participants will be randomly assigned by balanced pre-randomization into two groups either to a robot-assisted group (RG), participants of this group receiving robot-assisted Hand Rehabilitation with the Syrebo Robotic Gloves or to a control group (CG), receiving dose-matched conventional Hand Rehabilitation without the robot. Participants will be engaged in exercises 4 times a week for 6 weeks, each participants will receive 3 Hand Rehabilitation therapy sessions of 45 Mins per day focusing on hand function. Data will be assessed at the start of the 1st session and at the end of the last session after 6 weeks with the help of Sollerman Hand Function test, Jebsen Taylor Hand Function test, The Original Barthel Index for Activities of Daily living. Data will be analyzed using SPSS version 25
