IISART (International Industry Society of Advanced Rehabilitation Technology) Advanced Rehabilitation Technology Study

Description

A pre-post, randomized control trial comparing cost-effective and functional outcomes of participants with neurological diagnoses using robotic devices and advanced technology during inpatient rehabilitation to the outcomes of control participants without the use of robotic devices and advanced technology during rehabilitation. We aim to show at least similar inpatient rehabilitation outcomes and improved health economics in participants with neurological diagnoses by using robotic devices and advanced technology to increase the intensity and dose of rehabilitation.
