Scientific titleDevelopment of an intelligent robotic system to aid physical therapy in stroke (development of an arm exerciser that can add to the treatment given by a physiotherapist for people who have had stroke)
Study objectivesIn people with severe arm paresis after stroke, functional recovery in the affected arm is poor. There is some evidence for a beneficial effect of physical therapy on recovery of the arm with a positive dose response relationship.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
