Background:

The Gloreha (Idrogenet SRL) is a robotic system designed to augment conventional rehabilitation for post-stroke upper extremity recovery.
Evidence regarding the comprehensive effectiveness of robotic-assisted therapy, specifically the Gloreha device, remains limited.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically evaluate the efficacy of the Gloreha device in enhancing upper extremity function and activities of daily living (ADLs) among stroke patients.
To synthesize current evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on Gloreha's impact on post-stroke motor and functional recovery.

Main Methods:

A systematic literature search was conducted across major databases (PubMed, Cochrane CENTRAL, CINAHL, Embase, EBSCO Open Dissertations) from January 2013 to January 2024.
Inclusion criteria focused on RCTs involving adult stroke patients comparing Gloreha-based rehabilitation with conventional therapy, assessing upper extremity function or ADLs.
Risk of bias assessment was performed using the Revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials.

Main Results:

Three RCTs with a total of 83 participants met the inclusion criteria.
Two trials incorporated Gloreha training alongside conventional rehabilitation, while one trial utilized Gloreha training exclusively.
Findings suggest that Gloreha, whether used independently or in conjunction with conventional methods, may improve motor function and functional capabilities in stroke survivors.

Conclusions:

Gloreha passive training, when combined with conventional rehabilitation, demonstrates a positive impact on upper extremity function following a stroke.
Further investigation is warranted to elucidate the effects of Gloreha on activities of daily living (ADLs) and to determine optimal long-term dosing strategies.
