Conditions

Upper limb dysfunction caused by central nervous system injury

Interventions

Treatment Group:The upper limb exoskeleton rehabilitation training system shall be utilized with the following modes selectable based on clinical indications: (1) Active Rehabilitation Mode
(2) Passive Rehabilitation Mode
