Thirty patients with chronic stroke received 6 weeks of sensorimotor robotic training in a pilot study that targeted motor function of the affected shoulder and elbow. The impairment and disability scores were stable during a 2-month observation/measurement period, improved significantly by program completion, and remained robust in the 3-month follow-up. Task-specific motor training attenuated a chronic neurologic deficit well beyond the expected period for improvement after stroke.
