Background
Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability worldwide, with increasing prevalence due to an aging population. Rehabilitation is critical to functional recovery, yet traditional therapy is resource-intensive and sometimes limited in scope. Robotic-assisted rehabilitation has emerged as a promising approach to enhance recovery outcomes through intensive, repetitive, and task-specific training. However, existing evidence is fragmented, and the comparative effectiveness of robotic therapy remains unclear, warranting a systematic review.
