Effects of Robot-Assisted Therapy on Upper Limb Recovery After Stroke: A Systematic Review

TLDR
Future research into the effects of robot-assisted therapy should distinguish between upper and lower robotics arm training and concentrate on kinematical analysis to differentiate between genuine upper limb motor recovery and functional recovery due to compensation strategies by proximal control of the trunk and upper limb.
Abstract
Objective. The aim of the study was to present a systematic review of studies that investigate the effects of robot-assisted therapy on motor and functional recovery in patients with stroke. Method...

Guidelines for Adult Stroke Rehabilitation and Recovery: A Guideline for Healthcare Professionals from the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association

TL;DR: This guideline provides a synopsis of best clinical practices in the rehabilitative care of adults recovering from stroke to reduce the risk of downstream medical morbidity resulting from immobility, depression, loss of autonomy, and reduced functional independence.

Review of control strategies for robotic movement training after neurologic injury

TL;DR: There is increasing interest in using robotic devices to assist in movement training following neurologic injuries such as stroke and spinal cord injury, and this review summarizes techniques for implementing assistive strategies, including impedance-, counterbalance-, and EMG- based controllers, as well as adaptive controllers that modify control parameters based on ongoing participant performance.

Effect of constraint-induced movement therapy on upper extremity function 3 to 9 months after stroke: the EXCITE randomized clinical trial.

TL;DR: The Extremity Constraint Induced Therapy Evaluation (EXCITE) trial as mentioned in this paper showed that a 2-week program of constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) for patients more than 1 year after stroke who maintain some hand and wrist movement can improve upper extremity function that persists for at least 1 year.

Effect of Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy on Upper Extremity Function 3 to 9 Months After Stroke

TL;DR: The Extremity Constraint Induced Therapy Evaluation (EXCITE) trial as discussed by the authors was designed to compare the effects of a 2-week multisite program of CIMT vs usual andcustomary care.

Robot-aided neurorehabilitation

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that robot-aided therapy does not have adverse effects, that patients tolerate the procedure, and that peripheral manipulation of the impaired limb may influence brain recovery, and one approach using kinematic data in a robot- aided assessment procedure.

Probability of regaining dexterity in the flaccid upper limb: Impact of severity of paresis and time since onset in acute stroke

TL;DR: Based on the Fugl-Meyer scores of the flaccid arm, optimal prediction of arm function outcome at 6 months can be made within 4 weeks after onset.
