Prof. Takashi Takebayashi and his colleague performed a retrospective analysis where they analysed the significance of varied assistance level when using robotic therapy among stroke survivors. They proved that the assistance level needs to be maximised for patients who had severe to moderate stroke whereas the assistance should be minimised for the moderate to mild stroke patients. They stressed on the need for future studies with more objective outcome tools and a larger sample using appropriate research methods.
This is a companion discussion for the article ““How much is too much” for assistance level using robotic therapy in stroke rehabilitation - https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/947724” submitted on the community's news feed.
