This study aimed to compare the effects of using an Internet of things (IoT)-assisted tenodesis-induced-grip exoskeleton robot (TIGER) and task-specific motor training (TSMT) as home programs for the upper-limb (UL) functions of patients with chronic stroke, and the results showed that the IoT-assisted TIGER training was more effective in improving the UL functions of stroke patients.
Objective: To compare the effects of using an Internet of things (IoT)-assisted tenodesis-induced-grip exoskeleton robot (TIGER) and task-spe-cific motor training (TSMT) as home programs for the upper-limb (UL) functions of patients with chronic stroke to overturn conventional treat-ment modes for stroke rehabilitation.Design: A randomized 2-period crossover study.Setting: A university hospital.Participants: Eighteen chronic stroke patients were recruited and randomized to receive either the IoT-assisted TIGER first or TSMT first at the beginning of the experiment (N=18).Intervention: In addition to the standard hospital-based therapy, participants were allocated to receive a 30-minute home-based, self-administered program of either IoT-assisted TIGER first or TSMT first twice daily for 4 weeks, with the order of both treatments reversed after a 12-week wash-out period. The exercise mode of the TIGER training included continuous passive motion and the functional mode of gripping pegs. The TSMT involved various movement components of the wrist and hand.Main Outcome Measures: The outcome measures included the box and block test (BBT), the Fugl-Meyer assessment for upper extremity (FMA-UE), the motor activity log, the Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament test, the range of motion (ROM) of the wrist joint, and the modified Ashworth scale.Results: Significant treatment-by-time interaction effects emerged in the results for the BBT (F(1.31)=5.212 and P=.022), the FMA-UE (F(1.31) =6.807 and P=.042), and the ROM of the wrist extension (F(1.31)=8.618 and P=.009). The participants who trained at home with the IoT-assisted TIGER showed more improvement of their UL functions.Conclusions: The IoT-assisted TIGER training has the potential for restoring the UL functions of stroke patients.
