Portable robots for upper-limb rehabilitation after stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Journal: Annals of medicine
PMID: 38640459

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted upper-limb rehabilitation has been studied for many years, with many randomised controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the effects of robotic-assisted training on affected limbs. The current trend directs towards end-effector devices. However, most studies have focused on the effectiveness of rehabilitation devices, but studies on device sizes are relatively few.
