It has been assumed that stroke survivors reach a plateau in their recovery within 3-6 months of their stroke. They tend to receive minimal rehabilitation support once they are discharged to the community citing obstacles such as ambulation, transportation, and cost.~H-man is a novel telerehabilitation, upper limb training robot, that will deliver robot-aided therapy in patients' homes by clinic-based therapists through remote monitoring and under the supervision of their caregivers.~The study aims to refine and evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and safety of home-based training using the H-man robot.
Hemiparetic weakness is common after stroke and only a small group of patients achieve useful upper limb function despite best rehabilitation efforts. This is due to the lack of intensive upper limb therapies to drive neuroplasticity either in clinic or at home.~In this study, we plan to pilot home-based, robot-aided-therapy using H-man to deliver intensive arm rehabilitation.
