Training and assessment of upper limb motor function with a robotic exoskeleton in chronic stroke patients

This study presents a clinical controlled evaluation study conducted in a small group of chronic stroke patients to compare robotic therapy delivered with a robotic exoskeleton to physical therapy. The goal of the study was twofold, on one side comparing the efficacy of robotic treatment vs manual physical therapy, on the other side investigating through some kinesiologic and functional measurements associated to upper limb movement the effects of robotic training in motor recovery.
