Area of Science:

  • Neurorehabilitation
  • Robotics in Medicine
  • Clinical Trials

Background:

  • Stroke frequently causes upper limb dysfunction, impacting daily life.
  • Robot-assisted training is a potential intervention for improving arm function post-stroke.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if robot-assisted training enhances upper limb function in stroke patients.
  • To compare robotic therapy with enhanced upper limb therapy and usual care.

Main Methods:

  • A pragmatic, three-arm, multicentre randomized controlled trial involving 720 adult stroke survivors.
  • Interventions included robot-assisted training (InMotion robotic gym), enhanced upper limb therapy, and usual NHS care, each for 12 weeks.
  • Primary outcome: upper limb function measured by the Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) at 3 months.

Main Results:

  • The study protocol is designed to detect a 15% difference in successful outcomes between treatment groups.
  • Secondary outcomes include upper limb impairment, activities of daily living, quality of life, and cost-effectiveness.
  • Blinded assessors will evaluate outcomes, with a comprehensive economic and process evaluation.

Conclusions:

  • This trial will provide crucial evidence on the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of robot-assisted upper limb training post-stroke.
  • Results will inform clinical practice guidelines for stroke rehabilitation.
