Luisa A. Feasibility and efficacy of a robotic device for hand rehabilitation in hemiplegic stroke patients:
a randomized pilot controlled study. Clin Rehabil. 2017

Gloreha glove is feasible and effective in recovering fine
manual dexterity and strength andreducing arm disability
in sub-acute hemiplegic patients. [...]
Patients in the treatment group significantly improved
the motor function of the paretic upper limb (Motricity Index),
their coordination and mono-manual dexterity (Nine Hole Peg Test)
and strength (Grip and Pinch) in contrast to controls,
and the cost savings was considerable.

Robot-assisted training using the Gloreha device
demonstrated beneficial effects on body structure and function, including upper extremity motor function, brachioradialis muscle recruitment, and coordination, in children with Cerebral Palsy. The beneficial effects were maintained 1 month after training termination.

According to recent literature, the hand rehabilitation program with Gloreha provides an intensive, repetitive, functional, taskoriented, specific, and customizable treatment. [...] The exercises with devices work on plasticity in the central nervous system due to the neuromotor, audiovisual feedback: the multisensory action-observation system enables patients to re- learn impaired motor function through the activation of internal action-related representations. [...] Our results showed a great improvement on the ADL and positively marked functional recovery of motor function. An important aspect of our study was the association of robotic therapy with the traditional rehabilitation-based approach of physiotherapy and OT to provide more full and intensive sessions to improve the outcome

Indicazioni cliniche

I dispositivi Gloreha trovano ampia applicazione su pazienti neurologici con deficit motori e/o cognitivi. Possono infatti essere impiegati già in fase sub-acuta, così come nella fase cronica, per supportare il recupero distale, prossimale, funzionale e cognitivo.

Le principali indicazioni cliniche sono: Ictus, Trauma Cranico, Lesioni al Midollo Spinale, Paralisi Cerebrale Infantile, Parkinson, Neuropatie Periferiche, Disturbi del Neurosviluppo.

I dispositivi Gloreha possono inoltre essere utili supporti al trattamento di pazienti che presentano disturbi muscoloscheletrici e nella fase post-chirurgica.
