Robotic Hand Rehabilitation
Robotic Hand Rehabilitation in Stroke Patients
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 13 Dec 2024
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The performance of activities of daily living (ADL) depends to a large extent on the functionality of the upper limb and hand. Stroke is the leading cause of disability worldwide, with a significant individual, family and economic impact. After a stroke event, however, a large percentage of affected patients have a deficit of the hand and, six months after the acute event, 65% of patients with a deficit of the hand are unable to use and integrate the affected hand in activities of daily living, significantly reducing its quality. The impairment of strength, grip and general hand function makes it difficult to perform ADLs and affects the independence of functional activities, making the recovery of hand function an extremely challenging field in stroke rehabilitation.
