Objectives : To validate the effectiveness of a soft wrist-hand rehabilitation robot based on sEMG recognition for post-stroke hand function recovery.

Design: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 30 hemiplegic stroke patients divided into an experimental group (robot-assisted training + conventional therapy) and a control group (conventional therapy only). Outcomes were assessed using the Fugl-Meyer Assessment for Upper Extremity (FMA-UE), Modified Barthel Index (MBI), Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) before and after 4 weeks of intervention.

Results: The experimental group showed significantly greater improvement in FMA-UE and MBI scores compared to the control group. MAS scores indicated reduced spasticity in the wrist and hand. fNIRS revealed enhanced activation in brain regions related to motor planning, sensory integration, and cognitive control in the experimental group.

Conclusion: The soft wrist-hand rehabilitation robot integrated with sEMG-driven mirror therapy and interactive training effectively improves upper limb function, daily living ability, and neural activation in stroke patients.
