Study of Robot-assisted Arm Therapy for Acute Stroke Patients

Status unconfirmed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Acute Stroke, Paresis

In brief

The purpose of this study is to compare standard occupational therapy to a combination of conventional (standard) and robotic therapy. The Reo Go device will provide robotic therapy that gives therapists a tool that could make stroke treatment faster and better by helping patients practice more accurate arm movements with help from the device.
