Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of robotic interventions for upper limb rehabilitation in stroke patients, focusing on the differences between low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and high-income countries (HICs).
- Utilizing databases like PubMed and CENTRAL, the review included 129 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published from 2012 to 2024, primarily involving chronic stroke patients and assessing various robotic devices.
- Findings show that while most research comes from high-income countries, there are positive rehabilitation outcomes with robotic therapy, indicating a growing interest in this field, though representation from LMICs remains low.
Study Design: Observational cohort.
Aim: To show that Cystatin C is an accurate single marker to estimate GFR in motor complete persons with SCI.
Objectives: To assess if Cystatin C is an accurate for estimating GFR in persons with SCI with no preserved motor power.
