    Abstract Introduction: Studies in robotic therapy which applied the performance enhancement approach report improvements in motor performance during training, though these improvements do not always transfer to motor learning.
    Objectives: We postulate that there exists an assistance threshold for which performance saturates. Above this threshold, the robot's input outweighs the patient's input and likely learning is not fostered. This study investigated the relationship between assistance and performance changes in stroke patients to find the assistance threshold for performance saturation.
    Methods: Twelve subacute and chronic stroke patients engaged in five sessions (over two weeks, each 60 min) in which they performed a reaching task with the rehabilitation robot H-Man in presence of varying levels of haptic assistance (50 N/m to 290 N/m, randomized order). In two additional sessions, a therapist manually tuned the assistance to promote maximal motor learning.
    Results: Higher levels of assistance resulted in smoother and faster performance that saturated at assistance levels with
    Conclusion: The findings of the study indicate that low levels of assistance (

    Abstract Although motor and sensory impairments of the upper limb after stroke have been widely studied, the relationship between sensory deficits and motor functions has been less thoroughly explored. In this ongoing study, we investigated the relationship between proprioceptive impairments and motor functions with 20 chronic stroke survivors. Their proprioceptive abilities were assessed with a passive joint position matching test using H-Man and their motor functions were assessed with ARAT (Action Research Arm Test) and FMA (Fugl Meyer Upper Extremity Assessment) clinical scores. The assessments were conducted before, during and after the therapy. Results indicated a significant difference between the proprioceptive outcomes of healthy and stroke participants (at baseline) in both matching accuracy (absolute error, p=0.02) and precision (variability of the signed error, p=0.03). Significant correlations were found between the proprioceptive assessment outcomes (assessed before the beginning of the motor rehabilitation) of stroke participants with impaired proprioception and their ARAT clinical scores assessed at the first follow-up (week 12) (rho =- 0.74 and p=0.047 for the absolute error; rho =-0.78 and p= 0.03 for the variability of the signed error). The results from this preliminary study indicated a significant relationship between proprioceptive impairments and motor function performances in proprioceptively impaired chronic stroke participants.
