Upper limb motor training using a Saebo ™ orthosis is feasible for increasing task‐specific practice in hospital after stroke
ConclusionsThis pilot feasibility study showed that the use of assistive technology, specifically the Saebo‐Flex™ device, could be successfully used in a sample of stroke patients with little or no active hand movement. However, recruitment to the trial was very slow. The use of the Saebo‐FlexTM device had variable results on outcomes, with some positive trends seen in hand function, particularly dexterity.
