Abstract EN
Stroke is the first cause of disability.
Several robotic devices have been developed for stroke rehabilitation.
Robot therapy by NeReBot is demonstrated to be an effective tool for the treatment of poststroke paretic upper limbs, able to improve the activities of daily living of stroke survivors when used both as additional treatment and in partial substitution of conventional rehabilitation therapy in the acute and subacute phases poststroke.
This study presents the evaluation of the costs related to delivering such therapy, in comparison with conventional rehabilitation treatment.
By comparing several NeReBot treatment protocols, made of different combinations of robotic and nonrobotic exercises, we show that robotic technology can be a valuable and economically sustainable aid in the management of poststroke patient rehabilitation.
