Abstract EN
The ACRE (ACtive REhabilitation) robotic device is developed to enhance therapeutic treatment of upper limbs after stroke.
The aim of this study is to assess effects and costs of ACRE training for frail elderly patients and to establish if ACRE can be a valuable addition to standard therapy in nursing home rehabilitation.
The study was designed as randomized controlled trial, one group receiving therapy as usual and the other receiving additional ACRE training.
Changes in motor abilities, stroke impact, quality of life and emotional well-being were assessed.
In total, 24 patients were included.
In this small number no significant effects of the ACRE training were found.
A large number of 136 patients were excluded.
Main reasons for exclusion were lack of physiological or cognitive abilities.
Further improvement of the ACRE can best be focused on making the system suitable for self-training and development of training software for activities of daily living.
