Abstract

BACKGROUND: The number of studies on the characteristics of patients with stroke who would benefit from robot-assisted upper limb rehabilitation is limited, and there are no clear criteria for determining which individuals should receive such treatment. The current study aimed to develop a clinical prediction rule using machine learning to identify the characteristics of patients with stroke who can the achieve minimal clinically important difference of the Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity Evaluation (FMA-UE) after single-joint hybrid assistive limb (HAL-SJ) rehabilitation.
