The Effect of Robot-Assisted Versus Standard Training on Motor Function Following Subacute Rehabilitation After Ischemic Stroke - a Randomised Controlled Trial Nested in a Prospective Cohort.
The aim of this randomised controlled trial (RCT) nested in a prospective cohort, is to investigate the superior effect of late-phase robot-assisted versus standard training on motor function, physical function, fatigue, and quality of life in a moderately-to-severely impaired chronic stroke population following subacute rehabilitation.
The main hypothesis of the study is:
Robot-assisted training has a superior effect on motor function (Fugl-Meyer Lower Extremity Assessment; primary outcome), physical function, fatigue, and quality of life in moderately-to-severely impaired chronic stroke-affected individuals in comparison to standard training.
Inclusion:; Ischemic and haemorrhagic stroke; Chronic state (6-24 months post-stroke); Subacute rehabilitation terminated (subacute phase defined as until 6 months post-stroke); Moderately-severely impaired:; Modified Rankin Scale Score 3-5; Scandinavian Stroke Scale Leg Motor Function Score 0-4 and/or SSS gait function 0-9; Approved by referring doctor; Exclusion:; Prior SAH; Infarct located in the cerebellum or brain stem; Severe fatigue making study completion improbable; Cognitive deficits impeding study participation; Inability to walk independently pre-stroke; Recurrence of cardiovascular/cerebrovascular accidents; Pre-existing neurological diseases or ongoing cancer treatment; Refusing group allocation; Concurrent participation in another clinical trial potentially interacting with the present trial.
