The effectiveness of robotic-assisted methods in the rehabilitation of patients with ischemic stroke

Abstract

Rehabilitation of ischemic stroke patients occupies an important place in the structure of rehabilitation due to high prevalence and disability. New modern robotic-assisted methods are increasingly used in such patients. The goal was to evaluate the effectiveness of robotic-assisted rehabilitation methods, using the results of studies presented in Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane research register. After analyzing the results, according to which the new methods are highly effective in improving walking function, balance, reducing swelling of the affected limbs, but it cannot be claimed that they are more effective in improving the motor activity of both upper and lower limbs, more effective pain relief than traditional methods rehabilitation.
