Implication

Systematic review evaluates remote rehabilitation's impact on upper limb function in stroke patients, indicating potential benefits but uncertain effects.

Key Points

Evaluate the efficacy of remote rehabilitation on recovery of upper limb motor function in stroke patients.
Systematic retrieval and screening of randomised controlled trials in Chinese and English databases up to January 6, 2026.
Meta-analysis performed with RevMan 5.4; fixed-effect or random-effects models selected based on heterogeneity.
Included nine randomised controlled trials with 600 patients.
TR group showed higher Fugl‑Meyer scores versus conventional rehabilitation (MD = 6.12, 95% CI [-3.66, 15.90], P = 0.21).
No significant differences for Modified Ashworth Scale, MAL-14 usage score, or Motion Study Arm Test (P > 0.05).
Subgroup analysis indicated a positive trend in motor function with intervention cycles ≤ 4 weeks.
