Abstract
This paper presents the results of the evaluation training performed in a group of chronic stroke patients using a robotic exoskeleton device. The effects of training were assessed both by means of clinical evaluation in terms of Fugl-Meyer and Modified Ashworth assessment scales and of functional evaluation, by means of Bimanual Activity Scale. Interestingly we found a significant improvement of both clinical and functional evaluation.
