Robotic rehabilitation effect on upper limb recovery in post-acute stroke

Introduction: In the last decade, neurorehabilitation robotic technologies have become widely spread and scientific evidence of their clinical effectiveness has increased [1]. Functional recovery of the upper limb is one of the main rehabilitation goals for post stroke hemiplegic patients and the use of robotic technologies is recommended in stroke guidelines [2]. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the robotic training effect on the upper limb neuromotor outcome after stroke. In addition, another aim is to evaluate the potential effect on motor recovery speed during the hospitalization time.
