What is Effects of Upper Limb Robot-assisted Rehabilitation on Motor Function Recovery and Neuromuscular Electrophysiological Changes of Stroke Patients about?

Objective] To evaluate the effect of bilateral upper limb robotassisted rehabilitation on upper extremity motor function recovery and neuromuscular electrophysiological changes in stroke patients, compared to the routine therapy. [Methods] Forty stroke patients were enrolled and randomized into two groups, both exposed to standard therapy, in comparison with the conventional therapy (CT) group provided with routine therapy, the robotassist therapy(RAT) group received additional robot-assisted therapy distributed in sessions,30 min per day,6 days a week, for 3 weeks. To evaluate motor function and neuromuscular electrophysiological changes, the following evaluations were performed: simplified upper limb Fugl-meyer(FMA-UE),surface electromyography measurements recorded from biceps brachii(BB),triceps brachii(TB),anterior deltoid bundle(ADB),and middle deltoid bundle(MDB),and motor evoked potentials(MEPs) [Results] (1) Comparison of FMA-UE: evidence of improvements in FMA-UE was found in both RAT and CT (P<0.05),with a significantly higher improvement in the RAT(P<0.05).( )Comparison of surface electromyography measurements: root mean square (RMS) and integral electromyography(iEMG) o
