  • mild-to- moderate unilateral stroke confirmed by brain CT or MRI scan and manifested by a Glasgow Coma scale (GCS) score between 15 and 9 documented within 6 months,
  • the ability to perform 20deg of active wrist/elbow for upper limb robotic movement on the affected side, no planned alteration in lower/upper- extremity therapy/medication for muscle tone during course of study,
  • Anticipated length of needed acute interdisciplinary rehabilitation of 30 days or more.
  • Patients are required to have a MMSE\>=24 to rule out those with cognitive impairments.
  • Patients will have to have normal/near normal strength in one upper/lower extremity and appreciable weakness in the other upper/lower extremity.

Exclusion
