Informe completo: Robotics and functional electrical stimulation for stroke rehabilitation

Objetivo: The purpose of this report was to evaluate whether there is an additional clinical benefit of using RAR or FES in stroke rehabilitation when compared to standard rehabilitation alone.

Recomendación: In light of numerous therapeutic options available in stroke rehabilitation, often with limited proven benefit, but increased costs, health economic evaluations for those interventions that showed a certain clinical benefit or at least non-inferiority are recommended. On the other hand, a disinvestment in treatment modalities that are not proven by evidence or are not cost-effective should be considered.
