AbstractBackgroundRobot‐assisted therapy (RT) is a promising intervention for stroke rehabilitation. RT hybridized with therapist‐mediated therapy (eg, RT plus task‐specific or impairment‐oriented training) may possibly yield functionally relevant improvements. A comparative study of the different combination regimens is needed.ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of RT combined with task‐specific training or impairment‐oriented training on motor function and quality of life in patients with chronic stroke.DesignA single‐blind, randomized comparative efficacy study.SettingTwo medical centers in Taiwan.ParticipantsTwenty‐one subjects with chronic stroke.InterventionsParticipants were recruited and randomized into 1 of 2 groups: (1) RT combined with task‐specific (RTT) training (enrolled, n = 11; completed, n = 11) or (2) RT combined with impairment‐oriented (RTI) training (enrolled, n = 10; completed, n = 9). Participants received 20 intervention sessions (90‐100 min/d, 5 d/wk for 4 weeks).OutcomesThe Fugl‐Meyer Motor Assessment Upper Extremity subscale, Stroke Impact Scale, Action Research Arm Test, and Medical Research Council Scale were administered at baseline, posttreatment, and at 3‐month follow‐up. Two‐way repeated‐measures analysis of variance was used to investigate the treatment effects.ResultsThe improvements of the RTT group in motor function measured by the Fugl‐Meyer Motor Assessment Upper Extremity subscale and quality of life assessed by the Stroke Impact Scale were significantly superior to the RTI group after the interventions. The improvements of the RTT group were maintained for 3 months. Both groups demonstrated significant within‐group improvements in motor function, muscle power, and quality of life.ConclusionsRTT may be a more compelling approach to enhance motor function and quality of life for a long‐term period than RTI. The combination of RT with task‐specific training and with impairment‐oriented training had similar benefits on upper limb motor function and muscle strength immediately after the interventions.
