Literature Review

Stroke is responsible for a disproportionate percentage of the long-term disability and mortality rates around the globe, and the costs that are linked with it are enormous for health care systems. Stroke survivors today have access to a wide variety of cutting-edge technologies that can help them recover from their condition. On the other hand, there are still a great deal of concerns that remain unresolved about post-stroke recovery. An example of this would be issues with the upper extremities that are paretic. Approximately eighty percent of people who have survived a stroke report having lasting weakness or paralysis in their upper limbs. In addition, the research discovered that the ipsilesional upper limb also exhibited motor impairment three months after the stroke in question had begun. The impairment of motor function results in a reduction in both the ability to do autonomous daily tasks and the ability to perform bodily functions. This research provides a significant contribution by presenting the very first MT paradigm that successfully achieves bimanual cooperation through the utilisation of camera technique-based MVF. For the purpose of lowering paretic arm motor dysfunction, increasing everyday functioning, and maybe regaining manual dexterity after a stroke, the results of the current research indicate that AMT is a therapy that is both effective and practicable.

中风是全球长期残疾和死亡率显著上升的主要原因，其相关医疗成本对卫生系统而言是巨大的。如今，中风幸存者能够接触到多种尖端技术，这些技术有助于他们从疾病中恢复。然而，关于中风后康复的诸多问题仍悬而未决。例如，上肢瘫痪的问题。大约百分之八十的中风幸存者报告称，他们的上肢存在持续的无力或瘫痪。此外，研究还发现，在特定中风发生后三个月，受损的上肢也表现出运动功能障碍。运动功能的损害导致自主日常活动能力和身体功能执行能力的下降。本研究通过展示利用基于摄像技术的运动视觉反馈（MVF）成功实现双上肢协作的MT范式，为研究做出了重要贡献。为了降低瘫痪上肢的运动功能障碍，提高日常生活功能，以及在中风后可能恢复手部灵巧，当前研究的结果表明，辅助运动疗法（AMT）是一种既有效又实用的治疗方法。
