Objective : The purpose of this study was to look at a systematic review on the effects of robot-assisted therapy on stroke rehabilitation in upper limbs. Through this comprehensive study, we have to compare the studies.
Methods : We systematically examined papers published in journal from June 2012 to September 2012, using EMBASE, MEDLINE, etc. 12 studies(randomized controlled trials) were included in the analyses.
Results : Selected 12 studies were Pedro score 2 or more. The primary outcome measure tools including tools for upper extremity function and activities daily of living were used. Through various intervention, Robot-assisted therapy maximizes the effectiveness of intervention. The effects of upper extremity function and functional ability(ADL) by robot-assisted therapy showed significant effect, but no difference exists between the robot-assisted therapy and conventional therapy groups in terms of upper extremity function and functional ability.
Conclusions : Robot-assisted therapy has been widely used clinically for stroke patients to maximize the effect had been applied to various interventions. Robot-assisted therapy depending on the methods of intervention showed that the effect of difference. In the future study, the use of robot-assisted therapy applied to a variety of interventions is needed on occupational therapy.
