This paper presents the results of the evaluation training performed in a group of chronic stroke patients with L-Exos device. The effects of training were assessed both by means of clinical evaluation in terms of Fugl-Meyer and Modified Ashworth assessment scales, and of functional evaluation, by means of Bimanual Activity Scale. Moreover at each session an automatic asses-sment of performance was made through the robot, and this was compared with the outcome of functional evaluation. Interestingly we found a significant improvement of both clinical and functional evaluation, and that the automatic assessment performed by the robot in terms of movement smoothness represents a strong predictor of transfer of functional ability to activity of every day life.
