Unilateral versus bilateral robot-assisted rehabilitation on arm-trunk control and functions post stroke: a randomized controlled trial

With 10 million survivors yearly these authors should be inundated with questions from all the doctors taking care of these stroke patients.
Its only 24 pages if you want to help your doctor out by explaining this to them.

Abstract (provisional)

Background

Although the effects of robot-assisted arm training after stroke are promising, the relative effects of unilateral (URT) vs. bilateral (BRT) robot-assisted arm training remain uncertain. This study compared the effects of URT vs. BRT on upper extremity (UE) control, trunk compensation, and function in patients with chronic stroke.

The complete article is available as a provisional PDF. The fully formatted PDF and HTML versions are in production.
