Robot-assisted therapy for arm and leg movement recovery

This trial is testing three robotic rehabilitation systems—called ZEPU-2000A, ZEPU-2000D, and ZEPU-2000E—that guide your arm or leg through repetitive, controlled movements during physical therapy. Half of the participants will use these robots along with their regular therapy, while the other half will receive standard physical therapy alone. The study wants to see if the robots help people regain movement and strength better than therapy without the devices.

After a stroke, spinal cord injury, brain injury, or surgery, many people struggle to regain arm and leg movement and strength. Therapists know that repeating movements over and over helps recovery, but human therapists get tired and may not deliver the same training every time. Robotic devices can provide consistent, precise, repetitive training, but doctors need to know if this approach works well and is safe in Bangladesh and similar countries.
