Stroke Rehabilitation: Therapy Robots and Assistive Devices
Motor impairments after stroke are often persistent and disabling, and women are less likely to recover and show poorer functional outcomes.

The article provides an overview of therapeutic options with robots for motor rehabilitation after stroke
