Number of participants that the trial has enrolled

11

Results

Ten participants completed the 7-day training. For the intra-day effect, the CCI was significantly decreased immediately after training, particularly during active finger flexion, and the AROM tended to improve from the middle of the training days. For the inter-day effect, there were no significant changes in the Stroke Impairment Assessment Set for Finger Function, modified Ashworth scale, CCI, or AROM after the 7-day training.

Baseline Characteristics

Eleven participants were enrolled between May 2023 and April 2024, including 11 individuals with subacute stroke (3 women; mean age, 62.5 y; SD, 16.2; mean days after stroke onset, 47.5 days; SD, 17.5).

Participant flow

All participants were enrolled in the rehabilitation ward in Fujita Health University Hospital between May 2023 and April 2024. All participants provided written informed consent before participation. Then, the participants performed robot-assisted active-assistive finger flexion-extension movements for 20 min daily and repeated this training on 7 non-consecutive days.

Adverse events

No adverse events occurred during the 7-day training.

Outcome measures

(1) Active range of otion
(2) Co-contraction index
(3) Stroke Impairment Assessment Set for Finger Function
(4) modified Ashworth scale
