Summary

Robot-assisted training did not improve arm function after stroke. Enhanced upper limb therapy showed some benefits, but neither approach was cost-effective, requiring further research for better outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Neurorehabilitation
  • Robotics in Medicine
  • Stroke Recovery

Background:

  • Loss of arm function is a common and significant challenge following stroke.
  • Robot-assisted training is a potential intervention to improve arm outcomes post-stroke.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of robot-assisted training compared to enhanced upper limb therapy and usual care.
  • To assess the cost-effectiveness of these interventions for stroke survivors.

Main Methods:

  • A pragmatic, observer-blind, multicentre randomised controlled trial involving 770 participants with moderate to severe upper limb limitation.
  • Interventions included robot-assisted training, enhanced upper limb therapy, and usual care.
  • Primary outcome was upper limb functional recovery success at 3 months, with secondary outcomes including impairment, daily living activities, and quality of life.

Main Results:

  • No statistically significant differences in upper limb functional recovery 'success' were found between robot-assisted training, enhanced upper limb therapy, and usual care.
  • Robot-assisted training showed reduced upper limb impairment compared to usual care.
  • Enhanced upper limb therapy demonstrated improvements in impairment, mobility, and activities of daily living compared to usual care, but performed better than robot-assisted training in activities of daily living.

Conclusions:

  • Robot-assisted training did not significantly improve overall upper limb function compared to usual care.
  • Enhanced upper limb therapy offered some benefits in impairment and daily function but neither intervention proved cost-effective.
  • Further research is needed to enhance the translation of impairment improvements into functional gains and to improve cost-effectiveness.
