A UK study reveals that therapists view robot-assisted therapy after stroke as a valuable complement to conventional rehab. While acceptance is high, practical barriers highlight the need for clear implementation guidelines.
The evaluations show that, in principle, therapists have an open-minded and positive attitude towards robot-assisted therapies, and see them as a meaningful and effective supplement to conventional therapy. A particular challenge is the successful implementation of the measures in everyday clinical practice, for example with regard to existing resources and skills. The authors conclude that relevant guidelines should be created.
