Upper Limb Robots for Recovery of Motor Arm Function in Patients With Stroke

摘要

Robot technology to support upper limb (UL) rehabilitation poststroke has rapidly developed over the past 3 decades. We aimed to assess the effects of UL-robots (UL-RTs) on recovery of UL motor functioning and capacity poststroke when compared with any non–UL-RT and to identify variables that are associated with the found effect sizes (ESs).
