Upper limb function is improved in chronic stroke patients treated with a robotic rehabilitation device

Stroke is a serious cerebrovascular disease that can lead to significant neurological sequelae, particularly in the upper limbs. Robotic rehabilitation is increasingly recognised as a promising method of improving upper limb function in stroke patients. The Rebless® is a motorised device that provides movement and resistance exercises for the elbow and wrist, collecting data on the number of repetitions, range of motion (ROM) and levels of resistance and assistance.
