Condition: Chronic Stroke · Sponsor: University of Florence
The functional recovery of the upper limb represents a critical element in post-stroke rehabilitation; hemiplegic/hemiparetic patients who achieve optimal recovery are a minority, and incomplete recovery has relevant consequences both on functioning and on quality of life of those who survive a stroke. The project aims to assess the effects on the functional recovery, with manual dexterity as the primary outcome, of a treatment protocol using an innovative tool (Gloreha Sinfonia) that enables assisted execution of three-dimensional tasks combined with Serious Games for cognitive stimulation, targeting the functional recovery of the upper limb in patients with stroke outcomes at least 6 months after the acute event (chronic phase). Patients with residual dysfunction of the upper limb, at least 6 months after the stroke, will be randomly assigned to the Robotic Rehabilitation group (ROBOT), the Occupational Therapy group (OT), focused on the use of the upper limb in functional tasks (task-oriented training), or the control group (CT - prescription of a home exercise program). Patients in the ROBOT and OT groups will undergo a total treatment period of 5 weeks, with 3 sessions per week lasting 1 hour, for a total of 15 sessions/hours of treatment. Patients assigned to the CT group will undergo an initial functional assessment required for defining the exercise program. All patients will be evaluated at baseline (T0), at a 5-week interval (T1), and 6 months after the end of treat…
