Key Points

This research aims to compare the effectiveness of game-based rehabilitation versus task-based training on upper limb movement in individuals recovering from stroke.
Conducted a randomized clinical trial with individuals post-stroke using the ArmAble™ device.
Compared movement velocity outcomes between gamified rehabilitation and traditional task-based training.
Followed participants for a six-week intervention period.
Gamified rehabilitation improved upper limb movement velocity at six weeks compared to task-based training.
Quantitative assessments highlighted the effectiveness of the ArmAble™ device in evaluating upper limb function.

Implication

Randomized trial demonstrates improved upper limb movement in individuals post-stroke using gamified rehabilitation.

Abstract

Gamified rehabilitation with the ArmAble™ device enhanced UL movement velocity at six-week compared to task-based training in individuals recovering from acute/sub-acute stroke. These findings support the use of ArmAble™ both as an engaging therapeutic tool and as a quantitative assessment platform for evaluating UL function post-stroke.
