Quantified Analysis of Neuronal Recovery Using Myelin Imaging After Robot Assisted Upper Arm Training in Subacute Stroke Patients

Quantified Analysis of Neuronal Recovery Using Myelin Imaging After Robot Assisted Upper Arm Training in Subacute Stroke Patients: Randomized Controlled Trial

Quantitative assessment method developed for brain plasticity through disability rehabilitation using a brain imaging technique. Development of brain imaging technology to improve understanding of brain plasticity during rehabilitation and to improve the efficiency of rehabilitation treatment for people with brain injury. ○ Development of the latest brain function image analysis algorithm and data processing technology Development of new technology for imaging brain plasticity in addition to existing functional imaging technology and diffuse imaging technology (Example: Myelinated brain imaging technology, susceptibility imaging (SWI) technology) Development of image reconstruction software technology using new image technology Multi-image and repeated shot data processing technology, wheat analysis technology development (Example: 3D registration technology, automated segmentation technology) Conducted clinical research on clinical quantitative evaluation of brain plasticity due to rehabilitation treatment Recruitment of a group of patients for pursuing plasticity through rehabilitation among stroke patients (estimating the number of sample patients by setting a specific patient group and analyzing statistical power) Image-based brain change analysis through patient rehabilitation and before and after imaging Comparative analysis through securing a control group and activating the control group. Derivation of clinical relevance through comparison with rehabilitation process

The training group received an additional upper robot Robot assisted upper arm training(RAT) with Armeopower® 5 times per week for 4weeks. *Robot Assisted Arm training + Conventional occupational therapy

The Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) is a stroke-specific, performance-based impairment index. It is designed to assess motor functioning, balance, sensation and joint functioning in patients with post-stroke hemiplegia
