The purpose of this study is to determine how adding virtual reality assisted robotic treatment to traditional rehabilitation affects stroke patients' pain levels, functional status, and daily living activities.After conventional and robotic therapy Each patient was evaluated The Barthel Index (BI), the Fugl Meyer Assessment Upper Extremity (FMA-UE), and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were used to assess the patients' pain, daily living activities, and upper extremity motor function.
The purpose of this study is to determine how adding virtual reality assisted robotic treatment to traditional rehabilitation affects stroke patients' pain levels, functional status, and daily living activities.
Materials and Methods: The study included 40 stroke patients. Two groups of patients were created. Group I also underwent 20 sessions of upper extremity robot-assisted therapy for 4 weeks, 5 days a week, for 30 minutes per session, in addition to receiving conventional therapy (5 days a week for 4 weeks, 1 hour each day). Group II only got traditional therapy. Each patient was assessed both before and after the procedure.
The Barthel Index (BI), the Fugl Meyer Assessment Upper Extremity (FMA-UE), and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were used to assess the patients' pain, daily living activities, and upper extremity motor function.
7,286 studies on the registry are indexed under Stroke; 2,007 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 40 is below the median of 50 across 5,369 interventional studies indexed under Stroke.

Functional exercise programs such as collecting rain in a glass, grating vegetables, goalkeeper, cleaning the stove, watering flowers, wiping windows, catching fish, and exploring landscapes were applied by robotic games to the patients

FMA-UE scale
FMA-UE evaluates the hemiparetic arm's mobility, including reflexes, the presence of synergies, and each of the upper limb's independent motions, including grasp. The dysmetria, coordination, and velocity of the patient are also evaluated using items on this scale. It is intended to assess muscle strength, reflex actions, and movement control in the upper extremity following a stroke. It has 33 elements and accepts values ranging from 0 to 2. Scores under 31 suggest a weak upper extremity, scores between 32 and 47 show a restricted upper extremity, scores between 48 and 52 indicate a noteworthy upper extremity, and scores between 53 and 66 indicate a full upper extremity.
