Proximal- Versus Distal-Prioritized Robotic Practice Plus Kinetic Exergaming in Stroke Rehabilitation
This research program aims at investigating the effects of upper-limb robotic therapy primed with interactive exergaming as an innovative hybrid regimen in stroke rehabilitation.
Inclusion: a first ever-stroke≧3 months; age range between 20 to 80 years; baseline Fugl-Meyer assessment of upper extremity scale (FMA-UE) between 18 to 56; no excessive muscle spasticity of the affected extremities (Modified Ashworth Scale < 3 at any joints); able to follow examiners' commands and study instructions (Mini-Mental State Examination score≧22); can maintain a step-standing position for at least 30 seconds; can walk for at least 10 meters with or without device; no participation in further experimental rehabilitation or drug studies during the duration of the project.
Exclusion: concomitant neurologic, neuromuscular or orthopedic conditions that may impede participation in this research; acute inflammation and pain.
