Abstract: Objective To observe the effect of upper limb rehabilitation robot training on unilateral spatial neglect (USN) in stroke patients.Methods 30 stroke patients with USN were divided into control group (n=15) and observation group (n=15). Both 2 groups receivedroutine rehabilitation and USN comprehensive training after vital signs were stable. The observation group received upper limb rehabilitationrobot training additionally. Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Modified Barthel Index (MBI) and USN were assessed before and 8 weeksafter treatment. Results The scores of FMA and MBI and USN status were significantly improved (P<0.01), and they were better in the observationgroup than in the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion Upper limb rehabilitation robot training can improve USN patients' upperlimb motor function and activities of daily living, and improve the degree of USN.
