Key Points

To evaluate real-world usage patterns, demographic disparities, and dose-response characteristics from a nationwide commercial direct-to-consumer deployment of home-based rehabilitation robotic systems for stroke recovery.
Analyzed operational and utilization data from the nationwide direct-to-consumer commercial rollout of 2 home-based robotic neurorehabilitation devices.
Evaluated N = 3,182 device deployments tracked between August 2019 and June 2024 across socioeconomic status, sex, and rural-urban classifications.
Demonstrated significant variability in long-term utilization and compliance rates across 3,182 deployments based on user socioeconomic status, sex, and rural-urban classification.
Identified preliminary dose-response relationships under real-world marketplace conditions that diverge from controlled academic clinical trials.
