Nine children with cerebral palsy and nine adults with stroke were trained using 5 different upper extremity simulations using the NJIT-RAVR system for approximately nine to twelve hours over a three week period. Both groups made improvements in clinical measurements of upper extremity function and reaching kinematics. Patterns and magnitudes of improvement differ between the two groups. Responses to training required adjustment of the robotic system to accommodate the rehabilitation needs of children with cerebral palsy.
九名脑瘫儿童和九名中风成人使用NJIT - RAVR系统进行了5种不同的上肢模拟训练，在三周时间内训练时长约为九至十二小时。两组在临床上的上肢功能测量和伸手运动学方面均有改善。两组之间改善的模式和程度有所不同。对训练的反应需要调整机器人系统，以适应脑瘫儿童的康复需求。
