Clinical Feasibility of Minimally Supervised Therapy After Stroke With a Hand Rehabilitation Robot

The therapy with the ReHapticKnob is performed in the clinic in addition to the conventional therapy. During the supervised and semi-supervised phases (first 2 weeks), the intervention dose is 5 sessions of approximately 45 minutes per week. During each session, the robot proposes a set of 3 exercises, each lasting between 10 and 15 minutes. During the minimally supervised phase (third and fourth week), the duration of the ReHapticKnob therapy is not specified, since the patient can decide by him/herself when to use the device, e.g. during freetime or during the weekend.
