Intervention type: DEVICE
Group type: EXPERIMENTAL
Intervention: Armeo Power robot restores upper limb motor function.
Description: ArmeoPower is a robotic rehabilitation device developed by Hocoma, designed to assist patients with impaired upper limb motor functions following conditions such as stroke or neurological injuries. The device features an exoskeleton that supports and tracks movements of the arm and hand, utilizing motor-assisted motion based on the principle of adaptive support, which adjusts assistance levels according to the patient's capabilities. ArmeoPower integrates interactive exercises, often in the form of engaging games, to enhance patient motivation and maintain focus during therapy sessions. It also collects and tracks performance data, enabling clinicians to evaluate progress over time. This device is widely used in rehabilitation centers and hospitals to improve muscle control, strength, and range of motion in patients recovering from severe motor impairments.

Intervention type: BEHAVIORAL
Group type: EXPERIMENTAL
Intervention: A Home Exercise Program
Description: A Home Exercise Program (HEP) is a personalized set of exercises designed to support recovery and enhance functional abilities outside of clinical therapy sessions. For patients with hemiplegia due to cerebral infarction, the program typically includes range of motion (ROM) exercises to maintain joint flexibility and prevent stiffness, as well as strengthening exercises using resistance bands or light weights to improve muscle function. Balance and postural control exercises, such as weight shifting or standing on one leg, help enhance stability and reduce fall risks. Functional training focuses on practicing daily movements like reaching, grasping, or transferring between positions, while fine motor skill tasks aim to restore hand functionality. The program may also incorporate low-impact aerobic exercises, such as walking or seated cycling, to boost cardiovascular health, along with relaxation and breathing techniques to reduce stress and improve overall well-being. These exercises a

Intervention: Occupational therapy activities
Description: Occupational therapy activities are designed to help individuals regain independence in daily life by addressing functional abilities, motor skills, and cognitive functions. For patients with hemiplegia due to cerebral infarction, these activities often include practicing Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as dressing, grooming, bathing, and feeding, as well as more complex tasks like cooking and managing finances. Fine motor skills development is emphasized through exercises involving tasks like buttoning, tying shoelaces, or handling small objects, sometimes using adaptive tools. Additionally, functional mobility training focuses on teaching safe movement strategies, such as transferring between surfaces or navigating stairs, and may include wheelchair mobility or energy conservation techniques. These activities are tailored to the patient's needs to enhance their ability to perform meaningful and necessary daily tasks independently.
