Abstract: 

The objective of this study was to investigate the improvement of affected upper-extremity function in stroke patients in the subacute phase who received robotic therapy for 15 days. Participants were 36 patients who received the robotic therapy for 15 days (the intervention group) and 62 patients who received standard rehabilitation for one month (the control group) from June 2015 to August 2018. The proximal upper-extremity scores of the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) were compared using propensity score matching of the intervention group and the control group. A total of 44 patients in both groups were matched by propensity score matching. Consequently, the proximal upper-extremity score of the FMA in the intervention group improved significantly more than in the control group. These results indicate that intervention using robotic therapy might efficiently improve the affected upper-extremity deficits for subacute stroke patients.
