Clinical Guidelines
InMotion® Robots Cited in Research Supporting AHA Guidelines
AHA Stroke Care Guidelines Recommend Robot–Assisted Therapy for upper extremity motor practice in the Inpatient, Outpatient and Chronic Care Settings
AHA references randomized controlled clinical trials using InMotion® Robots and their corresponding clinical protocols
American Heart Association Scientific Statement Published in:
Stroke Miller et al. (2010); 41:2402-2448
Care in the Inpatient Setting: Class IIa Level of Evidence A
- “Robot-Assisted UPPER EXTREMITY therapy, however, can improve motor function during the inpatient period after stroke”174 175 17
- FIM® score improvement 30% greater than control group
Improvement from robot therapy was maintained on a 3 year follow up evaluation
The InMotion ARM® Robot Drives Functional Gains in the Inpatient Setting
Care in the Outpatient Setting: Class I Level of Evidence A
- “Robot-assisted therapy has been shown to improve UPPER EXTREMITY motor function in outpatient and chronic care settings”143

Recommendation
“We suggest offering robot-assisted movement therapy as an adjunct to conventional therapy in patients with deficits in upper limb function to improve motor skill.”
