Robot-Assisted Tai Chi for Upper Limb Rehabilitation in Stroke Patients

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of Robot-Assisted Tai Chi Training (RATT) versus conventional rehabilitation in improving upper limb motor function post-stroke, and to explore the neuromuscular mechanisms of RATT. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: 1. Robot-Assisted Tai Chi Training group: Participants will receive guided Tai Chi arm movements with robotic assistance to enhance coordination and strength. 2. Conventional rehabilitation group: Participants will perform standard exercises (e.g., stretching, repetitive task practice). Both groups will receive 60-minute sessions, administered 5 days a week, over 4 weeks. Researchers will measure improvements using clinical scales (e.g., Fugl-Meyer Assessment) and monitor safety.
