Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine how adding virtual reality assisted robotic treatment to traditional rehabilitation affects stroke patients' pain levels, functional status, and daily living activities.After conventional and robotic therapy Each patient was evaluated The Barthel Index (BI), the Fugl Meyer Assessment Upper Extremity (FMA-UE), and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were used to assess the patients' pain, daily living activities, and upper extremity motor function.

Detailed description

The purpose of this study is to determine how adding virtual reality assisted robotic treatment to traditional rehabilitation affects stroke patients' pain levels, functional status, and daily living activities. Materials and Methods: The study included 40 stroke patients. Two groups of patients were created. Group I also underwent 20 sessions of upper extremity robot-assisted therapy for 4 weeks, 5 days a week, for 30 minutes per session, in addition to receiving conventional therapy (5 days a week for 4 weeks, 1 hour each day). Group II only got traditional therapy. Each patient was assessed both before and after the procedure. The Barthel Index (BI), the Fugl Meyer Assessment Upper Extremity (FMA-UE), and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were used to assess the patients' pain, daily living activities, and upper extremity motor function.
