By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning DailyNews Daily News - New research on Cerebrovascular Diseas es and Conditions - Stroke is the subject ofa report. According to news origina ting from Kelantan, Malaysia, by NewsRx correspondents, researchstated, “Stroke has emerged as the leading cause of disability globally. The provision of long- termrehabilitation to stroke survivors poses a health care burden to many count ries.”Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from University Sains Ma laysia, “Roboticdevices have created a major turning point in stroke rehabilita tion program. Currently, the anthropometricevidence to support the benefit of robotic rehabilitation (RR) among stroke patients is scarce. Therefore,the aim o f this study was to evaluate the impact of RR on the mid-thigh circumferences of the pareticlimbs in stroke patients. Twenty stroke patients from conventional rehabilitation (CR) (n = 10) and RR(n = 10) groups were recruited through a pur posive sampling method. Patients in the CR group receiveda two-hour session of a five-day-a-week home-based CR program for 4 weeks. Patients in the RR groupre ceived a five-day-a-week of an hour combined physiotherapy and occupational ther apy session anda one-hour robotic therapy session using the HAL? Cyberdyne lowe r-limb, for 4 weeks. The mid-thighcircumferences of both limbs were measured on day 1 (baseline), week 2 and week 4 of rehabilitationprogram. The results reve aled no statistically significant difference in the mid-thigh circumferences between the paretic (F = 1.96, p = 0.20), and the normal (F = 1.96, p = 0.20) sides in the CR group (n= 10). For the comparison between the paretic and normal sid es in the RR group (n = 10), the pareticmid-thigh circumferences revealed signi ficant time effect results (F = 11.91, p = 0.001), which were dueto changes bet ween baseline and week 2, and baseline and week 4 measurements. Interestingly, t henormal mid-thigh circumferences also revealed a significant time effect (F = 6.56, p = 0.007), which isdue to changes between baseline and week 4. One-way a nalysis of variance was employed to comparethe mean average between groups due to the difference in the baseline measurements of the mid-thighcircumferences b etween the paretic side of the CR and the RR groups. With this adjustment, the a veragemeans mid-thigh circumferences after 4 weeks of therapy were shown to be significantly different betweenthe CR and RR groups (F = 12.49, p = 0.02). Sign ificant increments in the mid-thigh circumferencesfollowing RR were seen in the paretic limbs of stroke patients.”
