Niu 2026 - The role of early intervention with upper limb rehabilitation robots in upper limb functional reconstruction and improving sarcopenia-related indicators in stroke patients
“This study provides evidence that robot-assisted training improves upper-limb motor
function and enhances sarcopenia-related indicators—specifically muscle mass and
muscle strength—in acute stroke patients.” 77 patients completed this study, using
Burt® as the robot-assisted trainer.
