Effect of upper limb robot-assisted occupational therapy on upper limb function and abilities of daily living in stroke patients with hemiplegia
Objective:To investigate the changes of upper limb function and abilities of daily living ability(ADLs)in stroke patients with hemiplegia after receiving upper limb robot-assisted occupational therapy.Methods:Clinical data of 60 stroke patients with hemiplegia who were treated in the Beijing No.6 Hospital from October 2022 to January 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into the study group(n=30)and the control group(n=30)using a randomized number table,the study group received conventional rehabilitation+upper limb robot-assisted occupational therapy for 6 weeks,and the control group received conventional rehabilitation for 6 weeks.The clinical data of the two groups were collected,the Fugl-Meyer Assessment for Upper Extremity(FMA-UE),Action Research Arm Test(ARAT),Modified Barthel Index(MBI),Functional Independence Measure(FIM)scores,upper limb Brunnstrom stage and rehabilitation satisfaction of patients in the two groups were compared.Results:Compared with the control group,the study group had higher FMA-UE,ARAT,MBI and FIM scores after 3 and 6 weeks of intervention,the upper limb Brunnstrom stage of the study group was better than that of the control group after intervention,and the rehabilitation satisfaction of patients in the study group was higher than that of the control group.Conclusion:The implementation of upper limb robot-assisted occupational therapy in stroke patients with hemiplegia could significantly improve their upper limb function and ADLs.
