Participants will rehabilitation with a robotic hand exoskeleton.

The rehabilitation program extended over six consecutive weeks. Each therapy session, lasting 45 minutes, occurred four times per week, resulting in a total of 24 sessions. Within each session, a total of six exercises, consisting of three passive exercises and three bilateral exercises, were performed in an alternating manner. The exercises were executed in the following sequence: 1) Bilateral hand opening and closing; 2) Passive independent finger opening and closing; 3) Bilateral pinch; 4) Passive hand opening and closing; 5) Bilateral hand opening and closing based on a VR-based game involving squeezing an orange; 6) Passive pinch.

The Barthel Index (BI) modified by Granger et al is an ordinal scale for measuring the ability of an individual to independently execute 15 activities of daily living (ADL) related with mobility and self-care. BI aims to evaluate the degree of independence, with a final score ranging from 0 to 100, where 0 indicates full dependence.

The Functional Independence Measure (MIF) was designed to provide an indicator of disability independent of a patient's impairment. The scale consists of 18 items to evaluate functional abilities in the area of communication, locomotion, self-care, social cognition, sphincter control and transfers. Each of these items is quantified utilizing a 7-point Likert scale. The total score, obtained by summing the individual item scores, spans from 18 to 126, with 18 denoting a state of complete dependence

The SF-36 Health Questionnaire consists of 36 items designed to assess health-related quality of live. It encompasses eight scales, each comprising 2 to 10 items, which aimed to evaluate various health attributes. These scales include physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional and mental health.The score of each scale ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating a better health-related quality of life.

The range of motion was analyzed by goniometry measurements using the HandTutor® glove. It provides the active and passive movement of the participants fingers through sensors located in the front and back of the glove.
