Abstract EN
This pioneering observational study explored the interaction between subacute stroke inpatients and a rehabilitation robot during upper limb training.
25 stroke survivors (age 55±17 years; time since stroke, 52±21 days) with severe upper limb paresis carried out 16 sessions of robot-assisted shoulder/elbow training (InMotion 2.0, IMT, Inc., MA, USA) combined with standard therapy.
The values of 3 patient/robot interaction parameters (a guidance parameter: Stiffness, a velocity-related parameter: Slottime, and Robotic Power) were compared between sessions 1 (S1), 4 (S4), 8 (S8), 12 (S12), and 16 (S16).
Pre/post Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) scores were compared in 18 patients.
Correlations between interaction parameters and clinical and kinematic outcome measures were evaluated.
Slottime decreased at S8 (P=0.003), while Guidance decreased at S12 (P=0.008).
Robotic Power tended to decrease until S16.
FMA scores improved from S1 to S16 (+49%, P=0.002).
Changes in FMA score were correlated with the Stiffness parameter (R=0.4, P=0.003).
Slottime was correlated with movement velocity.
This novel approach demonstrated that a robotic device is a useful and reliable tool for the quantification of interaction parameters.
Moreover, changes in these parameters were correlated with clinical and kinematic changes.
These results suggested that robot-based recordings can provide new insights into the motor recovery process.
