In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this pilot randomized controlled trial is to learn whether the ZEPU-SG1PLUS Hand Functional Comprehensive Training System - a robotic device used alongside standard rehabilitation - is safe, feasible, and helpful for people with upper limb (arm/hand) motor problems caused by stroke, incomplete spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, or orthopedic conditions. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is robotic-assisted hand training well tolerated by patients, and can it be safely added to standard rehabilitation, with acceptable rates of device-related side effects? Does adding robotic hand training to standard rehabilitation improve arm and hand strength, range of motion, and functional ability compared with standard rehabilitation alone? Is it practical to fit this type of robotic training into everyday rehabilitation services at Bangladesh Medical University? Resea

๐Ÿ“‹ Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria: * Presence of upper-limb motor dysfunction, with or without concurrent lower-limb impairment, due to one of the following conditions: (a) stroke, with onset between 2 and 24 months prior to enrollment; (b) incomplete spinal cord injury (neurological level C5 and below), classified as ASIA Impairment Scale C or D; (c) traumatic brain injury with persistent upper-limb functional limitation; or (d) orthopedic or post-surgical conditions involving the shoulder, elbow, wrist, or hand with persistent functional impairment for \> 3 months * Age between 18 and 60 years, inclusive * Ability to understand study procedures and follow instructions, and to provide written informed consent (or assent with guardian consent where applicable) * Body weight and limb anthropometry compatible with the ZEPU-SG1PLUS Hand Functional Comprehensive Training System per manufacturer specifications * Medically stable and cleared by a physician for robotic rehabilitation, with no active infection, uncontrolled cardiac or respiratory disease, severe osteoporosis, uncontrolled epilepsy, or untreated deep vein thrombosis Exclusion Criteria: * Complete spinal cord injury or profound motor paralysis preventing safe interaction with robotic devices * Severe cognitive impairment, defined as a Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score \< 24, that would compromise safe participation * Severe spasticity of the upper limb, defined as a Modified Ashworth Scale score \> 3 * Unstable fractures, severe fixed joint contractures of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, or hand (e.g., \> 30ยฐ), or severe pain limiting safe robotic training * Uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia, presence of a pacemaker, or other implanted electronic medical device incompatible with robotic sensors * Pregnancy
