This is a survey study to understand the stroke survivor's interest in robotic training. Investigators will use a questionnaire and show a video of robotic therapy to ask questions on their interest.
The purpose of this research is to investigate the interest of individuals with recent stroke in robotic therapy. Investigators will introduce a novel robotic platform to train ADLs of stroke patients. Investigators will examine the usability of this device as a home trainer for training rotational hand manipulation tasks such as opening a pickle jar, turning a key, missing a pot with a ladle, etc. The device will especially target stroke patients with ischemic stroke to enhance the performance of ADL. Also, investigators will examine the frequency and dosage of the current occupational therapy, followed by the satisfaction of the current therapy. Participant's participation will contribute to the development of a new therapy method using a robotic device for home-based training.
