New Artificial Intelligence-Integrated Electromyography-Driven Robot Hand for Upper Extremity Rehabilitation of Patients With Stroke: A Randomized, Controlled Trial

BACKGROUND: An artificial intelligence (AI)-integrated electromyography (EMG)-driven robot hand was devised for upper extremity (UE) rehabilitation. This robot detects patients' intentions to perform finger extension and flexion based on the EMG activities of 3 forearm muscles. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the effect of this robot in patients with chronic stroke. METHODS: reflex, and reciprocal inhibition were assessed before, post, and post-4 weeks (post-4w) of intervention. RESULTS: = .026). CONCLUSIONS: jRCTs032200045.
