NCT05854485Completed
Robot-Aided Assessment and Rehabilitation of Upper Extremity Function After Stroke
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 23 Dec 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The purpose of this clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy of a hybrid-based rehabilitation program for the upper extremity(UE) combining the interventions- Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) and Robotic rehabilitation in individuals with chronic stroke. The main question it aims to answer is if the Hybrid multi-muscle FES+Robot upper extremity rehabilitation is more effective in improving the upper extremity motor impairments and function as compared to robotic upper extremity training alone.
