Figure 2. Results of changes in Fugl-Meyer (F-M) score between robot-assisted therapy (RT) and conventional therapy (CT). Two meta-analyses were performed based on relative duration/intensity of RT and CT. In these meta-analyses, standardized mean difference (SMD) of F-M Total score in Aisen et al., 1997 [27], Housman et al., 2009 [29], and Lo et al., 2010 [34] and SMD of F-M Proximal score in rest of studies were pooled together.
