You will have to ask your therapist what robot-assisted therapy is available to you.

Abstract: Study systematically reviewed and analyzed
the literature regarding the effectiveness of robot-assisted therapy
(RT) versus conventional therapy (CT) in improving motor recovery and
functional abilities of the paretic upper limb of people with stroke.
Eleven scientific databases were searched to find randomized controlled
trials (RCTs) that employed robotic devices in upper-limb rehabilitation
of people with stroke. Out of 574 studies, 12 matching the selection
criteria were found. The Fugl-Meyer, Functional Independence Measure,
Motor Power Scale, and Motor Status Scale outcome measures from the
selected RCTs were pooled together, and the corresponding effect sizes
were estimated. Results revealed that when the duration/intensity of CT
is matched with that of the RT, no difference exists between the
intensive CT and RT groups in terms of motor recovery, activities of
daily living, strength, and motor control. However, depending on the
stage of recovery, extra sessions of RT in addition to regular CT are
more beneficial than regular CT alone in motor recovery of the
hemiparetic shoulder and elbow of patients with stroke; gains are
similar to those that have been observed in intensive CT.
Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 28,983 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke.DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER, BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.
What this blog is for:
My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.
