"Comparison of Therapist-Led and Robot-Assisted Arm Therapy in Subacute Stroke Rehabilitation"

"Comparison of Outcomes of Physiotherapist- and Robot-Assisted Upper Limb Therapy and Their Association With Muscle Tone and Motor Function in Subacute Stroke Patients"

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 23 Apr 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This study aims to compare the outcomes of upper limb motor therapy conducted by a physiotherapist with robot-assisted therapy using the Luna EMG device in patients in the subacute phase after stroke. Additionally, the study will examine the correlation between changes in muscle tone and motor function improvement. The randomized controlled trial will be conducted at the Rehabilitation Department of the T. Marciniak Lower Silesian Specialist Hospital in Wrocław, Poland. Two groups (robot-assisted vs. conventional therapy) will perform identical sets of movements with matched repetition counts over a 6-week therapy period. Functional improvement will be assessed using Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity Assessment (FMA-UE), Box and Block Test (B\&BT), EQ-5D-5L, and MyotonPro measurements.
