Table 3 Spearman correlations between clinical and robotic assessment scores and the agreement between clinical and robotic classification of proprioceptive impairment in subjects with stroke. Values presented are Spearman’s rho for correlations and Cohen’s Kappa for level of agreement. Subjects were considered impaired on the robotic tasks if they scored >1.96, and impaired on the Thumb Localizing Task if they scored >0

  1. All values (correlations and agreement) are significant at p < 0.001
  2. TLT: Thumb Localizing Task (scored from 0 = no impairment to 3 = unable to locate thumb). CMSA: Chedoke McMaster Stroke Assessment for the Upper Extremities (scored from 7 = normal movement to 1 = flaccid paralysis). FIM: Functional Independence Measure (scored from 126 = complete independence with daily activities to 18 = complete dependence/total assistance). PM_E: E-Score for the position matching task. PM_M: M-Score for the position matching task. KIN_E: E-Score for the kinesthesia task. KIN_M: M-Score for the kinesthesia task. Overall E- and M-Scores indicate the average score between the position matching and kinesthesia tasks
