Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of an assisted rehabilitation treatment through a robotic exoskeleton device on the functional recovery in a group of patients with hemiparesis from lesion of the first motor neuron (post-stroke), compared with a group of patients subjected to a conventional rehabilitation treatment. The patients enrolled in the study are chronic stroke injured with right hemiparesis of moderate to severe degree, by the system injury pyramid, never undergoing rehabilitation treatment with robots.

Conditions

• Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA)
• Chronic Disease
• Stroke Rehabilitation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Upper Arm Rehabilitation Light Exoskeleton (RH-LEXOS)	RH-LEXOS is a robotic exoskeleton device to support the rehabilitation of stroke patients. This system is conceived for the force assistance, integrated in a Virtual Reality system that allows implementing rehabilitative exercises highly interactive and engaging for the patients. Passive, assisted and active mobilization of upper arm is provided through the use of the exoskeleton robotic device within high intensive, repetitive, task-oriented exercises and an objective and reliable mean for monitoring patients' progress.
