Overview
Brief Summary
This study investigates the effectiveness of combining Armeo Power robotic therapy with conventional rehabilitation techniques to improve upper limb motor function in patients with hemiplegia caused by supratentorial cerebral infarction (a type of stroke). The study aims to evaluate how robotic-assisted therapy can enhance recovery by measuring motor function improvements over three weeks of treatment. Participants will undergo standard physical and occupational therapy alongside Armeo Power training, with results compared to those receiving only standard rehabilitation. The findings aim to provide valuable insights into advanced therapeutic options for stroke rehabilitation.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Comparison of upper limb motor function improvement according to 3 scales: FMA-UE, ARAT and HMS in 2 study groups.
Time Frame: There are 2 time points for evaluating the research subjects in both groups: Time 1: before intervention Time 2: After the end of 15 intervention sessions (about 3 weeks)
The Fugl-Meyer Assessment for Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) is a standardized clinical test used to evaluate the recovery of upper limb motor function in patients after a stroke. This scale is widely recognized for its reliability and sensitivity in assessing motor recovery during rehabilitation. The test comprises 8 assessment domains with a total of 33 items, and the maximum score achievable is 66 points. Based on the total score, recovery is categorized into four levels: good (56-66 points), indicating near-complete recovery of motor function; fair (42-54 points), reflecting moderate recovery; average (22-40 points), representing limited recovery with partial functionality; and poor (0-20 points), signifying severe motor impairment
Secondary Outcomes
- Action Research Arm Test(The Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) can be administered at two time points: baseline (initial assessment) and after 3 weeks to evaluate changes in upper limb function over the course of rehabilitation.)
- Hand Movement scale(can be administered at two time points: baseline (initial assessment) and after 3 weeks to evaluate changes in upper limb function over the course of rehabilitation.)
