Title: | Comparative assessment of two Robot-Assisted Therapies for the upper extremity in people with chronic stroke | Authors: | CHUNG-SHAN HUNG KEH-CHUNG LIN |
Issue Date: | 15-Jan-2019 | Journal Volume: | 73 | Journal Issue: | 1 | Source: | American Journal of Occupational Therapy | Abstract: | OBJECTIVE: We investigated the effects on motor and daily function of robot-assisted therapies in people withchronic stroke using the Bi-Manu-Track (BMT) and InMotion 3.0 (IMT) compared with control treatment (CT). METHOD: In this comparative efficacy trial, 30 participants were randomized to receive BMT, IMT, or CT. Outcome measures included the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), Motor Activity Log (MAL), and Medical Research Council (MRC) scale. RESULTS: The IMT group improved more in FMA and proximal MAS scores than the BMT group (both ps < .01) and the CT group (p < .01 and p = .03, respectively). The IMT and BMT groups showed clinically relevant improvements after treatment on the MRC rather than the MAL. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that the IMT might improve motor function. The IMT and BMT groups showed similar benefits for muscle power but limited improvements in self-perceived use of the affected arm. |
