In the researchers' words
A recent multicenter study of the Fondazione Don Gnocchi (FDG) Robotic Rehabilitation Group (NCT02879279) showed the efficacy of robotic rehabilitation in upper limb motor recovery after stroke using a set of robots and sensor-based devices. In clinical practice, beside sensory-motor deficits, stroke patients often present concomitant cognitive impairments (as attention and memory disorders). The robotic and technological systems used in the above-mentioned study allow training on some cognitive functions such as visual memory, visual-spatial functions and working memory, as well as motor training of the upper limb. The aim of the study is to assess whether cognitive functions, such as visual memory, visual-spatial skills and working memory (evaluated with specific tests) improve after robotic therapy of the upper limb in subacute stroke patients.
