    This study examined the effects of multimodal sensory-feedback robot-assisted training on upper-limb recovery in post-stroke patients.

  • 2

    Thirty-eight stroke patients were randomly assigned to either conventional rehabilitation or rehabilitation supplemented with robotic training.

  • 3

    Post-intervention, the experimental group showed significant improvement in Fugl-Meyer Assessment scores compared to the control group.

  • 4

    Functional near-infrared spectroscopy revealed increased fronto-motor connectivity in the experimental group after the intervention.

  • 5

    The study suggests that multimodal sensory-feedback robotic training may enhance short-term upper-limb motor recovery post-stroke.
