impairments and few among them attain complete UL recovery 6 months after stroke …

Stroke, including hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke, refers to the blood supply disorder in the
local brain tissue for various reasons (aneurysm, occlusion, etc.). It leads to regional brain …

Background Although people with aphasia (PwA) represent 30% of stroke survivors, they
are frequently excluded from stroke research, or their inclusion is unclear. Such practice …

Objective To systematically evaluate the effect of robot-assisted training (RAT) on upper limb
function recovery in patients with stroke, providing the evidence-based medical basis for the …
