In the researchers' words
In the present study, the RMTC finger-hand robot and combined with the mechanism of neuroplasticity will be used on the upper-limb rehabilitation of stroke patients. The participants will be randomized assigned to treatment group (TG, robot assisted treatment) and control group (CG, conventional treatment). In the experimental group, task oriented bi-manual training will be applied using the unaffected hand to guide the affected hand by RMTC robot system. The investigators will estimate the motor function of distal part of upper-limb before and after treatments. The results will be compared with the convention rehabilitation treatment. The primary outcomes are Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA); and the secondary outcome measurements are modified Ashworth scale (MAS),Action Reach Arm Test (ARAT), Box \& block test、Brunnstrom recovery Stage, and motor activity log (MAL).
