Game-based rehabilitation improves upper limb movement capacity compared to task-based training in people post-stroke: Kinematic analyses from the EnteRtain randomized clinical trial

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.
