You don't understand ONE GODDAMN THING ABOUT SURVIVOR MOTIVATION, DO YOU? You create 100% recovery protocols and your survivor will be motivated to do the millions of reps needed because they are looking forward to 100% recovery. GET THERE!
The problem is stroke researchers are not motivated to solve stroke. What the fuck is your solution to that failure? We still don't know how to motivate stroke medical 'professionals' to solve stroke to 100% recovery!

of stroke survivors over the long term. With the aim of providing
extra motivation to adhere to repetitive, individual rehabilitation,
this paper presents a robotic coach for stroke rehabilitation. Our
system uses the Pepper robot and performs one of twelve data-
driven coaching policies. The policies were learned from human-
human observations of professional stroke physiotherapists and
provide high-level personalisation based on user information and
training context. A within subjects evaluation of the system was
conducted in-person involving short interactions with 3 stroke
survivors. The system was able to engage the target end users and
there were indications that decreased workload could be possible
when using the system compared to exercising alone.

ABSTRACT
Repetitive, individual exercises can improve the functional abilityof stroke survivors over the long term. With the aim of providing
extra motivation to adhere to repetitive, individual rehabilitation,
this paper presents a robotic coach for stroke rehabilitation. Our
system uses the Pepper robot and performs one of twelve data-
driven coaching policies. The policies were learned from human-
human observations of professional stroke physiotherapists and
provide high-level personalisation based on user information and
training context. A within subjects evaluation of the system was
conducted in-person involving short interactions with 3 stroke
survivors. The system was able to engage the target end users and
there were indications that decreased workload could be possible
when using the system compared to exercising alone.
