Using of Robotic Hand Training in Patients with Stroke: A Narrative Review

Background: Stroke patients have difficulty performing tasks using their paretic hands. Robot-assisted training (RT), as an intensive and task-specific intervention, has been increasingly used in neurorehabilitation and numerous studies have reported its potential to facilitate upper limb rehabilitation. Purpose: This review was aimed at investigating the effect of robotic hand training on hand function and grip strength in stroke patients. Methods: A comprehensive search of Science Direct, PubMed, and Google Scholar was conducted using keywords such as Stroke, Robotic hand training, Hand rehabilitation. search for literature was limited to English language works. Dissertations, oral presentations, conference papers, unpublished articles, and abstracts from smaller scientific investigations were excluded. Results: The review suggests that using of Robotic Hand Training in patients with stroke to improve hand function and grip strength these devices are proving to be a valuable adjunct to conventional therapy for individuals with hand dysfunction Driven by the principles of high-intensity, repetitive, and functional training. Conclusion: This review concluded that Using of Robotic Hand Training in patients with stroke can improve hand function and grip strength, and the robotic training is more preferable than conventional physical therapy.
