“…Another innovative way to support rehabilitation therapy is the development of robotic gloves for hand rehabilitation therapy. A robotic glove prosthesis specifically designed for hand rehabilitation in patients with grip disorders is presented in this scholarly publication [ 13 ]. In order to restore hand strength and movement, repetitive hand movements are frequently employed as a rehabilitation strategy.…”

A volar Barton fracture is a compression injury that usually results from a fall onto an outstretched, pronated wrist. It is characterized by an intraarticular marginal volar shearing fracture of the distal radius. Despite the prevalence of distal radius fractures, consensus regarding optimal treatment remains challenging. To achieve adequate alignment, a variety of treatment techniques are available, including open reduction with plate and screw fixation, external fixation, and closed reduction with pinning. Regardless of the method of treatment, carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most prevalent complication that is commonly seen in distal radius fractures. Establishing an effective post-operative rehabilitation regimen, primarily comprising functional physiotherapy interventions, is vital to managing this condition. This case report discusses the management of acute CTS secondary to a volar Barton fracture, characterized by symptoms including pain, diminished strength and mobility of the wrist joint, and impaired grip strength and fine motor skills. The outcome measures utilized were the Upper Extremity Functional Index and the Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire. A customized physical therapy regimen was implemented, comprising cryotherapy, range of motion exercises, and grip strengthening utilizing a robotic glove. This tailored approach proved effective in promoting early functional recovery and improving activities of daily living.

“…Rehabilitation tasks aim to improve cortical motor representation in the brain and functional hand improvements, enabling patients to perform daily activities independently. Robotic devices can enhance therapy quality [13]. Clinical research shows that patients using robotic assistance for physical hand therapy have better hand-motor skill recovery compared to those without it.…”

This case study examines the rehabilitation strategy for a 51-year-old farmer with primary neoplasm of the central nervous system (CNS)-related hemiparesis, balance issues, and cognitive impairment. Primary neoplasm of the CNS is a rare type of cancer that affects the brain, spinal cord, and other parts of the CNS. Hemiparesis, which is weakness on one side of the body, is a common symptom of primary neoplasm of the CNS. The tumour can cause inflammation and swelling in the brain, which can further contribute to weakness. Symptoms include headaches, confusion, seizures, and changes in vision or speech. The patient underwent surgical excision, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy but faced challenges in physiotherapy. The patient's initial assessment revealed asymmetries and impairments on the right side, including muscle weakness, flexor synergy, trunk imbalance, gait abnormalities, and cognitive impairment. A tailored physiotherapy protocol was implemented, focusing on improving muscle strength, synergy patterns, balance, gait, motor control, speech, and cognitive function. Innovative robotic gloves technology was incorporated to enhance hand functionality. This case study contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting the effectiveness of comprehensive rehabilitation strategies, including innovative technologies, in optimising recovery for individuals with CNS lymphoma-related neurological deficits. Further research and exploration could further validate their benefits and enhance the overall rehabilitation journey for such patients.
