Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim in this study is to evaluate spasticity and hand grip strength with a finger hand robot in the Turkish population.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Spasticity has been defined as "irregular sensorimotor control resulting from upper motor neuron lesion manifesting as intermittent or sustained involuntary activation of muscles".

The commonly used tools in the evaluation of spasticity are subjective clinical scales, including Ashworth Scale (AS), Modified AS (MAS), Tardieu Scale (TS), Modified TS (MTS), and Tone Assessment Scale (TAS). Current scales are based on the clinician's perception of the patient assessing spasticity through their perceptions, experience, and training over the years. An objective measure of spasticity is required, and the development of robot-based systems for this purpose can help clinicians objectify their assessment.

It has been widely shown that robotic systems can be useful in the rehabilitation of adults and children with brain damage. In addition, these systems can be used to assess upper extremity function during treatment.

The aim in this study is to evaluate spasticity and hand grip strength with a finger hand robot in the Turkish population.
