Abstract

In post-stroke patients, the disabling motor deficit mainly affects the upper limb. The focus of rehabilitation is improving upper limb function and reducing long-term disability. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of using the Gloreha Aria (R-Lead), a sensor-based upper limb in-hospital rehabilitation, compared with conventional physiotherapist-led training in subacute hemiplegic patients. Twenty-one patients were recruited and randomised 1:1 to a sensor-based group (treatment group TG) or a conventional group (control group, CG). All patients performed 30 sessions of 30 min each of dedicated upper limb rehabilitation. The Fugl-Meyer Assessment for Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) was the primary evaluation., both as a motor score and as individual items. Secondary evaluations were Functional Independence Measure; global disability assessed with the Modified Barthel Index; Motor Evaluation Scale for UE in stroke; power grip; and arm, shoulder, and hand disability. All the enrolled patients, 10 in the TG and 11 in the CG, completed all hand rehabilitation sessions during their hospital stay without experiencing any adverse events. FMA-UE scores in upper limb motor function improved in both groups [delta change CG (11.8 ± 9.2) vs. TG (12.7 ± 8.6)]. The score at T1 for FMA joint pain (21.8 vs. 24 best score) suggests the use of the Gloreha Aria (R-Lead) as feasible in improving arm function abilities in post-stroke patients.

摘要
卒中后患者的致残性运动功能缺损主要累及上肢。康复治疗的核心目标为改善上肢功能、降低长期致残率。本研究旨在评估基于传感器的院内上肢康复设备Gloreha Aria (R-Lead) 用于亚急性偏瘫患者的可行性，并与物理治疗师主导的常规康复训练进行对比。本研究共纳入21例患者，按1:1比例随机分为传感器治疗组（试验组TG）与常规治疗组（对照组CG）。所有患者均完成30次、每次30分钟的针对性上肢康复训练。本研究的主要评估指标为上肢Fugl-Meyer评估量表（Fugl-Meyer Assessment for Upper Extremity, FMA-UE），分别从运动总分及各分项维度进行评估；次要评估指标包括功能独立性评定量表、改良Barthel指数评估的整体残疾程度、卒中上肢运动评估量表、握力以及上肢、肩部与手部功能障碍情况。
本研究纳入的所有患者中，试验组10例、对照组11例，均在住院期间完成全部上肢康复训练，未出现任何不良事件。两组患者的上肢运动功能FMA-UE评分均有所改善[对照组变化量(11.8 ± 9.2) vs 试验组(12.7 ± 8.6)]。T1时间点的FMA关节疼痛维度评分（21.8 vs 满分24）提示，Gloreha Aria (R-Lead) 用于改善卒中后患者上肢功能具有可行性。
