Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The use of technology in stroke rehabilitation has become very common in recent years. Robotic devices used in rehabilitation enhance the healing process by giving patients more intensive and task-oriented exercises. A lot of systematic and meta-analysis studies have shown that robot-assisted devices provide positive motor recoveries, especially in the treatment of upper extremities. However, the optimal timing, duration, and dose of robotic rehabilitation that should be applied after stroke remain uncertain.
In the light of this information, this study examines the effects of the robotic device produced for upper limb rehabilitation on daily life activities and motor function.
