Summary

This study tested whether simple, affordable robots can help people who have had a stroke improve arm and hand function. 27 older adults (55+) who were at least 3 months post-stroke used the Rehab CARES system in a community setting. They performed exercises with force-feedback robots, and their motor control, hand dexterity, and quality of life were measured before and after therapy.
