Objective The purpose of this study was to review the effects of robot-assisted therapy (RT)
for improving poststroke upper extremity motor impairment. Methods The PubMed, Embase …

Therapists have used multiple interventions to improve motor recovery following stroke.
However, the clinical research studies to support efficacy of the interventions are few. The …

Background. Although task-specific training is emerging as a viable approach for recovering
motor function after stroke, there is little evidence for whether the effects of such training …

Background: Limb hemiplegia is one of the common sequelae of stroke. Physical therapy-
based rehabilitation training can rapidly improve limb functioning and muscle strength. This …

Stroke is the fourth leading cause of mortality and is estimated to be one of the major
reasons for long-lasting disability worldwide. There are limited studies that describe the …

Investigators should consider working across disease platforms to develop and test the most
optimal methods for training patients, the most practical trial designs, the best dose …

Background and purpose There is little evidence available on the use of robot-assisted
therapy in subacute stroke patients. A randomized controlled trial was carried out to evaluate …

After stroke, physiotherapy can promote brain reorganization and motor recovery.
Combining muscle strength and functional training (functional strength training, FST) may be …
