He 2025 - Efficacy of Robot-assisted Training on Upper Limb MotorFunction After Stroke: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-analysis
“The existing evidence shows that Robot-assisted training can effectively improve the
degree of spasticity of the flexor muscles of the upper limb, elbow joint extension
mobility, the upper limb motor function and the ability of daily life in patients with
stroke.”
“For different types of upper limb rehabilitation robots, our study analyzed that the end-
effector type of upper limb rehabilitation robots were the most effective in improving
upper limb motor function, and the exoskeleton type of robots were the most effective
in improving daily living ability.” With activities incorporating reciprocal inhibition, PNF
patterns, sensory input and ADL activities, Burt ® , as an end-effector robot, may help to
improve spasticity and upper limb motor function.
