Effects of Proximal Priority and Distal Priority Robotic Priming Techniques With Impairment-Oriented Training of Upper Limb Functions in Patients With Chronic Stroke: Study Protocol For A Single-Blind, Randomized Controlled Trial
Abstract:BackgroundThe sequence of establishing proximal stability or function before facilitation of the distal body part has long been recognized in stroke rehabilitation practice but lacks scientific evidence. This study plans to examine the effects of proximal priority robotic priming and impairment-oriented training (PRI) and distal priority robotic priming and impairment-oriented training (DRI). MethodsThis single-blind, randomized, comparative efficacy study will involve 40 participants with chronic stroke. Part… Show more
