Summary
The ReHapticKnob is a robot for hand rehabilitation after stroke. We aim to investigate the feasibility of minimally supervised therapy with the ReHapticKnob with stroke patients in a rehabilitation clinic, evaluate the usability of the ReHapticKnob (user interface and implemented exercises which were adapted for independent usage), and quantify the dose of additional robotic therapy that patients perform in a minimally supervised setting.
Minimally supervised therapy means that after a training phase, where the therapists teach to the patients how to perform the exercises with the robot, the patients can autonomously train with the robot during free time without being directly supervised. Our hypothesis is that minimally supervised therapy might be a possible way to increase therapy dose for stroke patients, with the potential to further improve recovery of hand function with minimal additional burden for therapists and for the healthcare system.
