Robotic-Assisted Training on Hand Function in Stroke

8 juillet 2026 mis à jour par: Adly A Adam

Robotic-Assisted Training on Hand Function in Stroke Patient

Stroke is a neurological deficit attributed to an acute focal injury of the central nervous system. A key component of stroke rehabilitation is improving upper limb function to reduce impairments and disabilities. A task-specific approach retraining for upper extremity control seeks to minimize impairments while maximizing the patient's functional performance. Technology-supported training is emerging to help therapists, patients, and the health system. Robotic devices allow to facilitate and control the complexity of a motor task. The benefits of robotic rehabilitation affect both therapists and patients: robot-assisted therapy can increase treatment compliance by way of introducing games or interactive upper limb tasks and patients can train independently with less supervision from therapists. Therefore, this study was conducted in line to determine the effect of robotic-assisted training on hand function in patients following a stroke.

Description détaillée

Stroke is the leading cause of complex adult disability with arm function impairment affecting approximately 69% of stroke survivors. Enhancing arm function is a priority for stroke survivors, caregivers, and healthcare professionals, as current rehabilitation approaches often neglect arm recovery. In Motion robotic gym system represents an effective treatment option for improving upper limb function in patients' post-stroke, owing to its ease of application, cost-effectiveness, and tolerability. Rehabilitation robotics is an emerging research domain aimed at leveraging cutting-edge robotic technology and virtual reality systems for the rehabilitation of neurological patients. While clinical trials in post-stroke patients with upper limb impairments have yielded positive results regarding motor recovery, they have shown limited efficacy concerning functional outcomes. Thus, there remains a pressing need to develop a new generation of rehabilitation robots and clinical protocols that can more effectively assist patients in regaining their abilities in activities of daily living. Therefore, this study was conducted in line to determine the effect of robotic-assisted training 'course of 12 weeks' on hand function 'assessing strength, via dynamometer, function via Fugle-Meyer test, and overall function via Jobson hand function' in patients following a stroke.

Expérimental: Study Group (A)
Received Robot-assisted training of a selected physical therapy program using Multifunctional intelligent instrument system for 45 minutes, three times per week, for 12 week.
The Hand Wrist Assistive Rehabilitation Device or HWARD: 'exoskeleton with 3 degrees of freedom (flexion-extension of the fingers, thumb and wrist) that assists (through pneumatic actuators) the hand in the" grasp and release "movement. The patient is seated in front of a monitor, the hand is secured to the robot by three soft Velcro strips, The palm of the hand is left free allowing the grasping of real objects, as well as virtual ones. Its a 45 minutes session , three times per week, for 12 weeks.
Comparateur actif: Control Group (B)

Description de la mesure
Délai
Hand-held dynamometer for measuring hand strength
Délai: 1. Pre-treatment at base-line of the study. 2. Post-treatment after 12 weeks of intervention.
Handheld dynamometer (Item model number:EH101, Manufacturer: Handeful), it is equipped with high precision strain gauge sensor that provides an accurate momentary digital reading of gripping power with a maximum capacity 198ibs - 90kgm. It is easy to read as it includes a large LCD screen that displays all measurements. It is used for measuring hand strength, while patient was seated comfortably, then was asked to place the arms by sides with his\her elbow in a 90-flexion position in neutral, then instructed to squeeze the digital hand dynamometer as hard as possible for 3 seconds, the test was repeated 2 more times and the mean handgrip strength of the 3 attempts were recorded.

Délai
Fugl-Meyer Test (Upper limb impairment test)
Délai: 1. Pre-treatment at base-line 2. Post-treatment after 12 weeks of intervention
Fugl-Meyer Test is a stroke-specific, performance-based impairment index. It is designed to assess motor functioning, balance, sensation and joint functioning in patients with post-stroke hemiplegia. It takes approximately 30-35 minutes, Scoring is based on direct observation of performance. Scale items are scored on the basis of ability to complete the item using a 3-point ordinal scale where 0=cannot perform, 1=performs partially and 2=performs fully. The total possible scale score is 226. Noting 0-35: Very severe, 6-55: Severe, 56-79: Moderate, more than 79 indicates mild in the scoring system.

Jobson Hand function test
Délai: 1. Pre-treatment at baseline of the study 2. Post-treatment after 12 weeks of intervention
It is a health and care, UK, that is a used to evaluate the functional capabilities using a stopwatch. It includes seven items: picking up small common objects, card turning, simulated feeding (bean spooning), picking up large light objects, stacking checkers, picking up large heavy objects, and writing a short sentence. The time of performance was recorded for each test. Total score is the sum of time taken for each sub-test, which are rounded to the nearest second. Shorter times indicate better performance
