Summary

Stroke is a common disease with a high disabling impact; it is the world's second leading cause of death and the third leading cause of disability. Robotic therapy has been proposed as a viable approach for the rehabilitation of the upper limb, as a way to increase the amount and the intensity of the therapy, and to standardize the treatment. However, robotic technologies have not yet been used to their full potential in terms of tailoring rehabilitation paths and monitoring the response to treatments. The main goal of the study is to use AI algorithms to (a) predict the recovery of the patients and (b) suggest exercises and parameters to improve the outcomes of the treatment.

Conditions

• Stroke

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	AI-based upper limb robotic therapy	Patients will be treated using MOTORE, a robotic device that allows passive, active, and active-assistive planar movements of the shoulder and elbow joints. The intervention will consist of 30 sessions, 1 per day and 5 per week. Therefore, each patient will be treated for 6 weeks The parameters of the serious games will be proposed by a Decision Support System (DSS), based on an AI-based algorithm trained using data collected during a previous Randomized Controlled Trial. The DSS will be fed, at the enrollment, with patient's demographics, clinical characteristics, clinical scales and kinematic/kinetic data measured by the robot during an evaluation session (unassisted reaching movements) and updated every 2 sessions with kinematic/kinetic data only, to tailor the treatment to the patient's current abilities. The therapists will be free to use or not the suggested parameters, on the basis of their previous experience with the robot (over 3 years).
