| Popis: | This work presents the preliminary results of a randomized controlled trial aimed at evaluating the efficacy of a novel hybrid robotic system for arm rehabilitation after stroke. The system was developed within the European project RETRAINER and consists of a passive exoskeleton for weight relief combined with an arm EMG-triggered neuroprosthesis. Up to now, 39 patients completed the 9-week intervention: patients in the experimental group achieved a significantly better effect in the motoric outcome measures with respect to control subjects receiving only conventional therapy. These promising results need to be confirmed on a larger sample. |
