Based on trigger theory, this study designed a combining robotic-assisted training and mirror therapy. Before robotic-assisted training, a mirror therapy is performed to double the healing effect of robotic-assisted training.~This study hypothesized that combining robotic-assisted training and mirror therapy can improve the performance of hand function in stroke patients and promote daily life function, quality of life, and self-efficacy compared to single machine-assisted therapy.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of combining robotic-assisted training and mirror therapy on upper extremity motor and physiological function, daily functions, quality of life and self-efficacy in stroke patients.
