Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of using an Internet of things (IoT)-assisted tenodesis-induced-grip exoskeleton robot (TIGER) and task-specific motor training (TSMT) as home programs for the upper-limb (UL) functions of patients with chronic stroke to overturn conventional treatment modes for stroke rehabilitation.
