Rehabilitation Robots: Modest Benefits and Future Potential in Stroke Recovery
A recent meta-analysis reveals the modest effectiveness of rehabilitation robots in post-stroke recovery, showing only a 3% increase in upper extremity strength among patients. While robotic systems offer some benefits, particularly for early-stage recovery, their overall impact may not significantly enhance daily functioning. The study highlights the need for further research and innovation in rehabilitation robotics, especially with emerging technologies like brain-machine interfaces.
