Can robot-based measurements improve prediction of motor performance after robot-assisted upper-limb rehabilitation in patients with moderate-to-severe sub-acute stroke?

CONCLUSION: This study found that clinical prediction of motor outcomes after moderate-to-severe upper-limb paresis is limited. However, initial proximal motor impairment severity predicted proximal motor performance. The value of baselines kinematics and of the number of repeated movements at initiation in the prediction would need further studies. PMID: 30909254 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
