We explored differences in baseline characteristics and the RT dose between responders (\u0394Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) score \u2265 9 points; n = 20) and non-responders (n = 16) in people with subacute stroke (mean [SD] poststroke time at baseline, 54 (26) days, baseline FMA score, 23 (17) points) who underwent 16 RT sessions combined with conventional therapies. Baseline characteristics were compared between groups. During RT sessions, the actual practice time (%), number of movements performed, and total distance covered (cm) in assisted and unassisted modalities were compared between groups. At baseline, participant characteristics and FMA scores did not differ between groups. During the RT, non-responders increased practice time (+15%; p = 0.02), performed more movements (+285; p = 0.004), and covered more distance (+4037 cm; p &lt; 10\u22123), with no difference between physical modalities. In contrast, responders decreased practice time (\u221221%; p = 0.01) and performed fewer movements (\u2212338; p = 0.03) in the assisted modality while performing more movements (+328; p &lt; 0.05) and covering a greater distance (+4779 cm; p = 0.01) in unassisted modalities. Despite a large amount of motor practice, motor outcomes did not improve in non-responders compared to responders: the difficulty level in RT may have been too low for them. Future studies should combine robot-based parameters to describe the treatment dose, especially in people with severe-to-moderate arm paresis, to optimize the RT and improve the recovery prognosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23094304","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,27]],"date-time":"2023-04-27T02:18:34Z","timestamp":1682561914000},"page":"4304","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Performance-Based Robotic Training in Individuals with Subacute Stroke: Differences between Responders and Non-Responders"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4523-9448","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Oph\u00e9lie","family":"Pila","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre de R\u00e9\u00e9ducation Fonctionnelle Les Trois Soleils, M\u00e9decine Physique et de R\u00e9adaptation, Unit\u00e9 de Neuror\u00e9\u00e9ducation, 77310 Boissise-Le-Roi, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0317-8504","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christophe","family":"Duret","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre de R\u00e9\u00e9ducation Fonctionnelle Les Trois Soleils, M\u00e9decine Physique et de R\u00e9adaptation, Unit\u00e9 de Neuror\u00e9\u00e9ducation, 77310 Boissise-Le-Roi, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5115-1808","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Typhaine","family":"Koeppel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre de R\u00e9\u00e9ducation Fonctionnelle Les Trois Soleils, M\u00e9decine Physique et de R\u00e9adaptation, Unit\u00e9 de Neuror\u00e9\u00e9ducation, 77310 Boissise-Le-Roi, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pascal","family":"Jamin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut Robert Merle d\u2019Aubign\u00e9, R\u00e9\u00e9ducation et Appareillage, 94460 Valenton, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"741","DOI":"10.1016\/S1474-4422(09)70150-4","article-title":"Motor Recovery after Stroke: A Systematic Review","volume":"8","author":"Langhorne","year":"2009","journal-title":"Lancet Neurol."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"401","DOI":"10.1682\/JRRD.2005.04.0075","article-title":"Relationships between Upper-Limb Functional Limitation and Self-Reported Disability 3 Months after Stroke","volume":"43","author":"Dromerick","year":"2006","journal-title":"J.
