Overview

Systematic review highlights robotic therapy's impact on motor recovery in post-stroke patients, suggesting benefits vary by stroke phase and age.

Key Points

  • Robotic therapy shows a moderate significant effect on motor recovery in post-stroke patients (SMD = 0.59, p < 0.001) when compared to conventional rehabilitation.
  • Subacute (SMD = 0.74) and acute phases (SMD = 0.75) yield the strongest improvements, while the chronic phase shows limited benefits (SMD = 0.23).
  • Analysis included 13 RCTs with 424 patients; meta-regression indicates a trend of reduced effectiveness with longer intervention duration (β = -0.134).
  • Findings support personalizing rehabilitation approaches that consider stroke timing, age, and intensity of robotic interventions to enhance recovery outcomes.
