129

Results

The change score of FMA upper limb items score as the primary outcome was not significantly different between three groups. In those,etc who completed over 80% of overall training time (PPS), when robotic therapy is used for self-training, patient's upper limb (shoulder, elbow, and forearm) functions are significantly improved compared to those who only received usual care for self-training.

Baseline Characteristics

The number of enrolled subjects was 129 patients. Participants were randomly allocated to three groups; robotic therapy with usual care group (44 cases), robotic therapy with task-oriented therapy group (43 cases), and usual care group (42 cases).
We showed the characteristics of participants in this study following: the average age in each group were 59 years (robotic therapy with usual care group), 60 years (robotic therapy with task-oriented therapy group), and 59 years (usual care group);
the gender in each group were 34 males and 10 females (robotic therapy with usual care group) , 35 males and 8 females (robotic therapy with task-oriented therapy group), and 31 males and 11 females (usual care group).
Consequently, there were no differences in the average of age and gender among the three groups.

Participant flow

The first subject was enrolled on 11/29/2016. There were only three cases at the end of 12/2016; therefore, the registration and implementation periods needed to be extended by a year to 3/31/2018 and 3/31/2019, respectively.
The questionnaire results and the efforts of each medical institution were shared in a study group in 6/2017.
Marketing channels, such as newspaper advertisements, website postings, posters, and fliers, were also taken into account for recruiting subjects at medical institutions whenever possible.
Nevertheless, as only 57 subjects were enrolled, in the end of 12/2017, the registration period has been extended for 6 months until 9/30/2018 at the end of 12/2017.
In addition, four medical institutions were added, although one of them abandoned the program.
By the end of 4/2018, 23 medical institutions were participating.
Thereafter with the enforcement of Clinical Trials Act, the transition procedure of this study to Specified Clinical Trial had started, and it was approved on 11/30/2018 by the Tsukuba University Clinical Research Review Board.
The number of cases registered was 111 at the end of 7/2018; however, the registration period was extended to 11/30/2018 for 2months to recruit more subjects to take into account possible dropouts and withdrawals.
The final number of registrations as of 11/12/2018 was 129, which was divided as follows: 13 cases each from two facilities, seven cases each from six facilities, six cases each from five facilities, and a total of 31 cases from the remaining 11 facilities (1-5 cases/facility).

Adverse events

In this study, no disease (including disability, death, or infection, as well as abnormal laboratory test values, or symptoms suspected to be caused by clinical study) was observed.
However, one case of cholelithiasis (hospitalization/ laparoscopic cholecystectomy / unrelated) was observed, in the robot with usual care group, and was reported as a serious adverse event.
In addition, no health damage was observed with respect to device malfunction, and there was no impact on the implementation of the test.

Outcome measures

In this study, we analyzed the change score of FMA upper limb items score as the primary outcome using the Mixed effects Model for Repeated Measures (MMRM). Consequently, in analysis using the Dunnett test after 10 weeks intervention, there were no significant difference of the change score of FMA upper limb items between three groups in FAS and PPS.
While, we analyzed the change of AOU and QOM score in MAL-14, FMA upper limb item components , ARAT, MI, MAS, ROM, SIS as the secondly outcome between three groups using the MMRM.
Consequently, in analysis using the Dunnett test after 10 weeks intervention, M1 model of the change of the shoulder, elbow, and forearm score in FMA showed significant difference (P=0.037) between the "robotic therapy with usual care group" and "usual care group" in PPS.
Additionally, no significant difference was observed for all other items.
