In the researchers' words
This project will employ the robot-assisted system to assist patients to perform the grasping and releasing movement of both hands simultaneously while mirror priming strategy is applied, and, then, perform intensive and game-based finger movement training with the robotic assistance. This randomized controlled trial is the first study to explore the benefits of combined robotic-assisted therapy and mirror priming strategy in stroke patients. This proposed combined approach might be a novel combination of enhancing movement performance, daily function and quality of life for patients with stroke.
