Combination therapy using robotics to treat finger and upper-extremity function for a stroke patients with severe upper-extremity paresis

Good luck getting any robotics in your stroke hospital. They don't read or implement research proving they are an incompetent hospital.

Abstract: 

This paper presents treatment consisting of robotic therapy for severe upper-extremity paresis related to inactive finger extension one month after stroke onset. Previous research indicates that poor finger mobility one month after stroke onset may indicate poor upper-extremity function. After improving upper-extremity function, the researchers used the brief version of transfer package of constraint-induced movement therapy to transfer functional gain in training into real-world use. Consequently, upper-extremity and real-world functions improved. These results suggest that combination therapy incorporating robotic therapy may be an effective treatment for stroke patients with severe upper-extremity paresis.
