Summary of the results from the pilot test with two subacute stroke patients. a The first three rows show the mean values for mean velocity (MV), spectral arc length (SAL) and rate of success (%SUCC) for each assessment and treatment session of both patients. Measures were averaged for all targets presented during a session, shaded areas depict standard error of the mean (sem). The fourth row shows number of movements performed by the patients in each session. The fifth row shows the scores on the Fugl-Meyer scale for upper extremities (FMA-UE) for initial (AI,1–2) and final (AF,1–2) assessment sessions. The dotted line indicates the maximum achievable score for FMA-UE (66 points). b Summary of the training targets presented to the patients in each treatment session. Targets are listed by the order as presented to the patients (first eight targets from the top are the initial training set). c Analysis of performance measures for two different time points (before replacement and after reinsertion). Values are compared between the last four movements towards a training target before its replacement and the first four movements towards the target after it has been reinserted for training. The data show the mean improvement for MV, SAL and %SUCC averaged for all targets at both time points. Improvements were calculated with respect to the mean values obtained from the first four movements towards each target in AI,2. Error bars depict standard error of the mean (sem). P-values of Wilcoxon signed-rank tests are reported above the bars
