Clinicians and researchers are trying to identify predictors to stratify patients for ensuring better stroke rehabilitation outcomes. However, previous studies have reported controversial results regarding the predictors of upper limb recovery after robot-assisted therapy. Our objective was to determine whether the demographic and clinical characteristics of stroke patients influence the motor and functional outcomes after robot-assisted therapy. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 48 hemiplegic patients who performed upper limb goal-directed tasks using RAPAEL Smart Glove (Neofect, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea). Robot-assisted therapy was administered for 5 days a week over 4 weeks, and each session was for 30 minutes. The parameters of the primary outcomes after robot-assisted therapy were measured with the manual function test and functional independence measure. Correlation analysis showed that age, initial cognitive function, and the initial manual function test and the Modified Ashworth Scale for upper extremity scores were significant factors for independently predicting functional outcomes after robot-assisted therapy. Linear regression analysis revealed that the initial Mini-Mental State Examination (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>&lt; 0.001) and initial manual function test (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>&lt; 0.001) scores were significant predictors of the primary outcomes. In conclusion, our study suggests that stroke patients presenting with less spasticity, better initial cognitive function, and better initial motor function have a significant correlation with the functional outcomes after robot-assisted therapy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1097\/mrr.0000000000000349","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,1]],"date-time":"2019-04-01T14:11:33Z","timestamp":1554127893000},"page":"223-228","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Predictors of functional and motor outcomes following upper limb robot-assisted therapy after stroke"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"Min Jeong","family":"Leem","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Bundang Jesaeng General Hospital, Bundang-gu, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gyu Seong","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Bundang Jesaeng General Hospital, Bundang-gu, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kee Hoon","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Bundang Jesaeng General Hospital, Bundang-gu, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tae Im","family":"Yi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Bundang Jesaeng General Hospital, Bundang-gu, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hyun Im","family":"Moon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Bundang Jesaeng General Hospital, Bundang-gu, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-20230918","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"I2.003","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.86.16_supplement.I2.003","article-title":"Temporal trends in stroke incidence in the young in the Framingham Study (I2.003).","volume":"86","author":"Aparicio","year":"2016","journal-title":"Neurology"},{"key":"R2-20230918","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"22","DOI":"10.1310\/tsr1406-22","article-title":"Poststroke upper extremity rehabilitation: a review of robotic systems and clinical results.","volume":"14","author":"Brewer","year":"2007","journal-title":"Top Stroke Rehabil"},{"key":"R3-20230918","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"123","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neulet.2007.08.049","article-title":"Motor outcome according to the integrity of the corticospinal tract determined by diffusion tensor tractography in the early stage of corona radiata infarct.","volume":"426","author":"Cho","year":"2007","journal-title":"Neurosci Lett"},{"key":"R4-20230918","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"61","DOI":"10.3109\/09638288809164103","article-title":"The barthel ADL index: a reliability study.","volume":"10","author":"Collin","year":"1988","journal-title":"Int Disabil Stud"},{"key":"R5-20230918","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"291","DOI":"10.1177\/0269215511420305","article-title":"Predictors of upper limb recovery after stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis.","volume":"26","author":"Coupar","year":"2012","journal-title":"Clin Rehabil"},{"key":"R6-20230918","first-page":"57","article-title":"Do all sub acute stroke patients benefit from robot-assisted therapy?
