Summary

After a stroke, more than two out of three patients experience problems with upper limb movement and sensation. During the past decade, robotic technology has been increasingly used to asses these problems in a detailed and accurate manner. However, sensory processing, one of the most important sensory functions, has not been assessed using robotic technology yet. Therefore, the investigators have developed a robotic assessment of sensory processing. During this study, the investigators aim to initially validate this novel assessment. The investigators aim to examine 20 chronic stroke patients and 20 age-matched healthy controls using the robotic assessment on one hand, and a set of existing clinical assessments on the other hand. The investigators hypothesize that stroke patients will have a poorer performance on this novel robotic assessment compared to age-matched healthy controls, and that these findings are similar to what is found with existing clinical assessments.
