Neurotypical controls were recruited from the community. Participants completed two tasks in the Kinarm robot: arm position-matching (three parameters: variability [Var<jats:sub>xy<\/jats:sub>], contraction\/expansion [Area<jats:sub>xy<\/jats:sub>], systematic spatial shift [Shift<jats:sub>xy<\/jats:sub>]) and visually guided reaching (five parameters: posture speed [PS], reaction time [RT], initial direction error [IDE], speed maxima count [SMC], movement time [MT]). Additional clinical assessments of sensory (thumb localization test) and motor impairment (Assisting Hand Assessment, Chedoke-McMaster Stroke Assessment) were completed and compared to robotic measures.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Forty-eight children with stroke (26 arterial, 22 venous, mean age: 12.0\u2009\u00b1\u20094.0\u00a0years) and 145 controls (mean age: 12.8\u2009\u00b1\u20093.9\u00a0years) completed both tasks. Position-matching performance in children with stroke did not correlate with performance on the visually guided reaching task. Robotic sensory and motor measures correlated with only some clinical tests. For example, AHA scores correlated with reaction time (R\u2009=\u2009\u2212\u20090.61, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), initial direction error (R\u2009=\u2009\u2212\u20090.64, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), and movement time (R\u2009=\u2009\u2212\u20090.62, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Robotic technology can quantify complex, discrete aspects of upper limb sensory and motor function in hemiparetic children. Robot-measured deficits in position sense and reaching with the contralesional limb appear to be relatively independent of each other and correlations for both with clinical measures are modest.
