Kinematic measures for upper limb motor assessment during robot-mediated training in patients with severe sub-acute stroke.

CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that baseline kinematic measures and their pre/post training changes were significantly correlated with clinical motor outcome measures. However, even if kinematic measures are valid for the evaluation of motor impairment we cannot propose to substitute common clinical measures of motor function which also evaluate functional abilities of the upper limb.
