Assisted Movement With Proprioceptive Stimulation Augments Recovery From Moderate-To-Severe Upper Limb Impairment During Subacute Stroke Period: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Robotic impairment-oriented training, as used in this study, can significantly enhance recovery during the subacute phase of recovery. Spontaneous recovery and prescribed outpatient therapy during this phase do not fully exploit the potential for remediating moderate-to-severe upper limb impairment.ClinicalTrials.gov Registry: NCT00609115-Subacute stroke rehabilitation with AMES.
