Summary

This study aims to investigate the training benefits of modular 3D printed dynamic orthoses on upper limb function in stroke survivors.

Detailed description

This study is a randomized controlled intervention trial. Participants are recruited from two medical centers in Taiwan and undergo a continuous 6-week intervention for post-stroke movement rehabilitation. The control group receives traditional stroke occupational therapy rehabilitation. The experimental group, in addition to traditional treatment, supplements their therapy with the use of modular 3D printed dynamic orthoses developed by the research team for home training. Both groups undergo two effectiveness follow-up assessments, one month and two months after the intervention.
