Cognitive Strategy Training to Facilitate Skill Transfer During Robot-Assisted Therapy: Experiences of Stroke Participants

Abstract Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations. Current evidence on robot-assisted therapy to improve use of the paretic upper extremity during everyday activities is limited. Semistructured interviews and thematic analysis investigated participants' experiences with a novel cognitive-strategy-based protocol for individuals who had a stroke in order to gain a better understanding of how motor skills trained during robot-assisted therapy transferred to paretic upper extremity use during daily occupations.
