Area of Science:

  • Neurorehabilitation
  • Robotics in Medicine
  • Occupational Therapy

Background:

  • Stroke rehabilitation frequently prioritizes motor recovery.
  • Robotic-assisted therapy shows potential for upper limb function improvement.
  • Current robotic interventions often overlook occupation-based practices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review how robotic rehabilitation aligns with occupational therapy principles.
  • To examine the incorporation of real-life tasks in robotic stroke rehabilitation.
  • To assess the integration of occupation-based practices in robotic therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Scoping review using Arksey and O'Malley's framework.
  • Systematic search of PubMed, CINAHL, and Scopus (Jan 2014 - July 2024).
  • Analysis of 15 selected studies on robotic interventions for stroke survivors.

Main Results:

  • Most studies utilized exoskeletons or robotic gloves for task-specific training (e.g., dressing, eating).
  • Hybrid protocols (clinic + home) were common, showing significant motor gains.
  • Occupational performance outcomes were infrequently measured, limiting understanding of functional translation.

Conclusions:

  • Robotic technologies offer promise for occupation-based stroke rehabilitation.
  • Further research is essential to link motor improvements to functional independence.
  • Ensuring meaningful engagement and functional outcomes is crucial for robotic interventions.
