Published Date: Sep 6, 2022

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Robot-mediated training is increasingly considered as a rehabilitation intervention targeting upper limb disability. However, experiences of such an intervention have been rarely explored in the multiple sclerosis population. This mixed methods study sought to explore the impact of an eight week upper limb robotic intervention on experiences of people with multiple sclerosis.
