Summary

Prolonged hospitalization in severe COVID-19 cases can lead to substantial muscle loss and functional deterioration. While rehabilitation is vital, conventional approaches encounter capacity constraints. Therefore, assessing the efficacy of robotic-assisted rehabilitation is crucial for post-COVID-19 fatigue syndrome patients, aiming to improve motor function and overall recovery. The study focuses on evaluating rehabilitation effectiveness in individuals with upper-extremity impairment using a hand exoskeleton-based robotic system.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Training with a Robotic Hand Exoskeleton	The rehabilitation program extended over six consecutive weeks. Each therapy session, lasting 45 minutes, occurred four times per week, resulting in a total of 24 sessions. Within each session, a total of six exercises, consisting of three passive exercises and three bilateral exercises, were performed in an alternating manner. The exercises were executed in the following sequence: 1) Bilateral hand opening and closing; 2) Passive independent finger opening and closing; 3) Bilateral pinch; 4) Passive hand opening and closing; 5) Bilateral hand opening and closing based on a VR-based game involving squeezing an orange; 6) Passive pinch.
