Résumé
Objective To observe the effect of virtual reality robotic hand on hand motor function and activities of daily living of pa-tients after stroke. Methods From June, 2015 to June, 2016, 32 patients with hand motor dysfunction were assigned into experimental group (n=16) and control group (n=16). The experimental group received training with virtual reality robotic hand and hand based rehabilitation, while the control group received hand based rehabilitation only, for four weeks. They were evaluated with Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) of fingers and wrists and modified Barthel index (MBI) before and after treatment. Results The total score and the scores of items of FMA and MBI improved after treatment in the experimental group (Z>3.45 or t>3.45, P2.07 or t>4.18, P2.14 or t>3.20, P<0.05). Conclusion Virtual reality robotic hand training can promote the recovery of hand function and activities of daily living in patients af-ter stroke.
