Study design: Controlled Trial Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of robotic-assisted training of forearm and hand functions in spinal cord injury patients Setting: Ankara Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital, Turkey Methods: Forty patients were allocated into robotic and control groups. Both groups received conventional rehabilitation program for four weeks. Moreover, robotic group received robotic rehabilitation program tailored to the patient five times a week (each session of 30 min).
Baseline data and post-intervention data was compared.

| Robotic REhabilitation | Procedure | The Armeo Spring HocomAG Inc. (Volketswil, Switzerland) device was used in robot assisted upper limb rehabilitation program. Assistive component of the robotic arm was adjusted in accordance with motor level of each patient. Variety and difficulty of games were chosen according to the ability and functional status of the patients. Variety and difficulty level of the games were modified according to progress of patients by the same physiotherapist. |
