Conditions
Summary
This is a single-blind randomized comparative efficacy study involving 54-72 participants with chronic stroke. Participants will be randomized into proximal priority robotic group or distal priority robotic group and receive 18 intervention sessions (90 min/d, 3 d/wk for 6 weeks). The Fugl-Meyer Assessment Upper Extremity subscale, Medical Research Council Scale, Revised Nottingham Sensory Assessment, and Wolf Motor Function Test will be administered at baseline, after treatment, and at the 3-month follow-up. Two-way repeated-measures analysis of variance and the Chi-Square Automatic Interaction Detector Method will be used to examine the comparative efficacy and predictors of outcome, respectively, after intervention.

Interventions
The PRI and DRI protocol provide robotic training for 45 minutes and impairment-oriented training for 45 minutes. The PRI group will start from the Bi-Manu-Track proximal mode (i.e., forearm) and then the Bi-Manu-Track distal mode (i.e., wrist). The DRI group will start from the Bi-Manu-Track distal mode (i.e., wrist) and then the Bi-Manu-Track proximal mode (i.e., forearm).In every session of robotic training, the patient will practice bilateral passive range of motion exercise, in which affected upper extremity is assisted by the unaffected side, and bilateral active range of motion exercise. Robotic training will be followed by impairment-oriented training.
