Effects of a wearable hand orthosis on upper and lower limb motor recovery in stroke patients: a randomized controlled trial by Lijuan Xu, Jie Zhang, Qiang Liu, Yefan Cao, Nazhakaiti Aizezi, Jing Tian, Cheng Wu, Liyu Fang, Liyi Chen, Yanzheng Zhang, Xueming Pang, Yanli Lin, Jingxin Wang, Hewei Wang

“…This study aimed to examine the effects of a wearable hand orthosis on spasticity, motor recovery of both upper and lower limbs, balance, and activities of daily living in stroke.DesignRandomized controlled trial.SettingInpatient rehabilitation department.ParticipantsFifty-one stroke survivors with hemiplegia were randomly assigned to either an experimental group (n = 26) or a control group (n = 25).InterventionsBoth groups underwent a 4-week conventional rehabilitation program. Participants in the experimental group engaged in a self-directed training program utilizing a wearable hand orthosis for 5 h daily, whereas the control group followed the identical regimen without the use of the orthosis.Outcome MeasuresModified Ashworth Scale (MAS) for spasticity, Fugl-Meyer Assessment for upper and lower extremities (FMA-UE & FMA-LE), Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Barthel Index (BI).ResultsThe experimental group showed greater improvements in FMA-UE (difference = 4.37, P = 0.022), BBS (difference = 12.37, P < 0.001), and BI (difference = 17.65, P < 0.001) compared to the control group. …”
