Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy, acceptability, and safety of the therapeutic system E-BRAiN for the treatment of stroke-related impairments.

Detailed description

This randomized controlled trial, RCT with cross-over design sequentially allocates participants with stroke-related impairment to both a two week course of conventional rehabilitation therapy and a two week course of therapy using the therapy system E-BRAiN (purpose-built therapy system using a socially interactive humanoid robot); participants are randomly allocated to the sequences "conventional =\> robot" or "robot =\> conventional". Stroke survivors with one of the target syndromes, i.e. mild arm paresis, or moderate to severe arm paresis, or visuospatial neglect are invited to participate.

Conditions

• Stroke
• Paresis
• Neglect, Hemispatial

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	E-BRAiN therapy	The therapy system E-BRAiN is a purpose-built therapy system using a socially interactive humanoid robot and provides individualised therapy for arm rehabilitation based on the evidence-based therapies arm basis training, arm ability training, or mirror therapy for arm rehabilitation (paresis) or neurovisual training (neglect).
BEHAVIORAL	Conventional therapy	Conventional therapy specifies the neurorehabilitation therapy as applied as regular treatment.
