Personalized Technology-Based Rehabilitation Program to Improve Upper Limb Function After Stroke in Adults

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the impact of a personalized technology-based rehabilitation program on upper limb motor function and capacity recovery in adults who have experienced a stroke. Stroke often results in upper limb impairments like weakness, altered muscle tone, and coordination loss, which affect daily activities. This study aims to better understand how technology-assisted therapies can improve rehabilitation outcomes alongside conventional treatments. The intervention includes a customized upper limb rehabilitation program using advanced devices such as robotic gloves and interactive therapy systems, delivered three times a week for 12 to 15 one-hour sessions. This technology-based treatment is provided alongside standard therapies like physiotherapy and occupational therapy. The study is a single-cohort design with assessments before and after the 4 to 5 week intervention period. Participants will undergo clinical evaluations measuring upper limb motor function using tools like the Fugl-Meyer Assessment and the Action Research Arm Test, along with instrumental tests of active range of motion and grip strength. Physiotherapists will track treatment details in diaries including session numbers and device usage. The study assesses changes over the treatment period and examines relationships between therapy dosage and motor improvements, with safety and clinical relevance carefully monitored.
