Pilot Study of the Effects of Protocol-Specific Robotic Arm Therapy in Stroke Recovery
The purpose of this study is to determine if tailoring multiple sessions of upper extremity
robotic therapy to focus on a particular aspect of movement (e.g smoothness vs. aiming;
active range of motion vs. functional practice)can optimize therapeutic results and lead to
greater functional returns in arm mobility after stroke.

Inclusion Criteria:
- 18 years of age or older
- First single focal unilateral lesion with diagnosis verified by brain imaging, which
occurred at least 6 months prior
- Cognitive function sufficient enough to understand experiments and follow instructions
- Fugl Meyer assessment at admission of 7 to 38 out of 66 (neither hemiplegic nor fully
recovered motor function in the muscles of the shoulder, elbow, and wrist)
Exclusion Criteria:
- Prior experience with robotic arm therapy
- Fixed contraction of the affected limb
- Complete flaccid paralysis of the affected limb
