Neurorehabilitation aims to improve function, typically through repetitive practice of movements and task-related activities where doses are regularly titrated by skilled clinicians. Unfortunately, these highly intensive, skilled interventions are challenging to implement at the scale needed to serve the needs of stroke survivors. Rehabilitation technologies have long promised to be the workforce multiplier to normalize this large supply-demand mismatch in the U.S. healthcare system. Extensive investigations into rehabilitation devices have revealed myriad benefits. While rehab technologies have the potential to improve function, these inferences are largely derived from academic clinical studies which, while useful for exploring efficacy, do not represent marketplace (ie, commercial) conditions where interventions must operate to serve the larger population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Here, we present data from the first nationwide direct-to-consumer deployment of 2 home-based rehabilitation robotic systems.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Analysis of 3182 device deployments from August 2019 to June 2024 reveal surprising patterns in usage and compliance.
