Feasibility, Safety and Efficacy of ZEPU-AI2, AI4, AI6 Plus and AI7A Robotic Rehabilitation Systems in Patients With Upper and Lower Limb Motor Dysfunction
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether robotic rehabilitation devices (ZEPU-AI2, AI4, AI6 Plus, and AI7A) are feasible, safe, and effective for adults with upper or lower limb motor problems. These problems can result from stroke, incomplete spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, or orthopedic surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is robotic rehabilitation training safe and practical to deliver alongside conventional therapy? Does adding robotic-assisted therapy improve motor function, balance, gait, and independence in daily activities compared to conventional rehabilitation alone? What side effects or device-related problems, if any, occur during robotic training? The Investigators will compare a robotic-augmented rehabilitation group to a control group receiving conventional rehabilitation alone, to see if adding robotic therapy leads to better recovery. Participants will: Receive robotic-assisted therapy sessions three times a week for 12 weeks, each lasting about 45 minutes (robotic group), or continue with conventional rehabilitation alone (control group) Undergo assessments of movement, balance, walking ability, and daily function before and after the study period Be monitored for any side effects or complications related to the device or training
• Presence of upper-limb motor dysfunction, with or without concurrent lower-limb impairment, due to one of the following conditions: (a) Stroke, with onset between 2 and 24 months prior to enrollment; (b) Incomplete spinal cord injury (ASIA Scale B, C, or D); (c) Traumatic brain injury; or (d) Orthopedic disorders affecting upper and/or lower limb motor function
• Age between 18 and 60 years
