Question 1

How long does it take for robotic rehabilitation to work after a stroke?

Accepted Answer

Initial results from robotic rehabilitation typically appear after 4-6 weeks of intensive treatment. The gait robot restores physiological locomotion patterns, while the arm robot facilitates fine motor recovery. Current evidence (2026) demonstrates significant improvements on the Fugl-Meyer scale in patients combining robotics with tDCS neuromodulation.

Question 2

Is robotic rehabilitation better than conventional physical therapy for stroke?

Accepted Answer

Robotic rehabilitation does not replace conventional physical therapy; rather, it amplifies it. Current studies demonstrate that the combination of robotics + manual therapy + neuromodulation surpasses results from any isolated therapy. The robot enables a higher number of repetitions with correct physiological patterns, accelerating neuroplasticity. At GNeuro, we combine gait robot, arm robot, and tDCS in integrated protocols.

Question 3

Which patients are candidates for robotic rehabilitation after stroke?

Accepted Answer

Robotic rehabilitation is indicated for patients in subacute and chronic stroke phases with motor deficits in upper or lower limbs. It is especially effective in hemiplegia, hemiparesis, and gait disturbances. There is no time limit after stroke; chronic patients with years of evolution can also benefit, although the best results are obtained within the first 6 months.
