In the researchers' words
This study aims to compare the outcomes of upper limb motor therapy conducted by a physiotherapist with robot-assisted therapy using the Luna EMG device in patients in the subacute phase after stroke. Additionally, the study will examine the correlation between changes in muscle tone and motor function improvement. The randomized controlled trial will be conducted at the Rehabilitation Department of the T. Marciniak Lower Silesian Specialist Hospital in Wrocław, Poland. Two groups (robot-assisted vs. conventional therapy) will perform identical sets of movements with matched repetition counts over a 6-week therapy period. Functional improvement will be assessed using Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity Assessment (FMA-UE), Box and Block Test (B\&BT), EQ-5D-5L, and MyotonPro measurements.
