Sensory and Cognitive Outcomes of Robotic Exercises in Stroke (SCORES)

"Upper limb rehabilitation using a set of 4 devices. A set of motor/cognitive exercises will be selected to train also attention, memory, executive function, speed of processing, and visuospatial abilities.The following devices will be used: (a) a robotic device that allows passive, active, and active-assistive planar movements of the shoulder and elbow joints (Motore, Humanware); (b) a robotic device that allows passive, active, and active-assistive finger flexion and extension movements (Amadeo, Tyromotion); (c) a sensor-based system that allows unsupported 3-dimensional movements of shoulder, elbow, and wrist joint, both unimanual and bimanual (Pablo, Tyromotion); and (d) a robotic system that allows 3-dimensional, unimanual and bimanual, movements of the shoulder joint, with arm weight support (Diego, Tyromotion).~The rehabilitation treatment will be performed daily for 45 minutes, 5 days/week, for a total of 30 sessions."

"Upper limb rehabilitation using conventional techniques, focused on upper limb reprogramming sensorimotor function, hypertonus, inhibition and functional improvement.~The rehabilitation treatment will be performed daily for 45 minutes, 5 days/week, for a total of 30 sessions."
