Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Robotic metrics.<br>What and how: index finger proprioception, range of motion, force, tracing smoothness - metrics extracted from the robotic device ETH MIKE (as described here: https://jneuroengrehab.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12984-021-00904-5)<br>When: at inclusion and after 3 weeks of intervention (at discharge) <br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Clinical outcomes: Box & Block test, Nottingham Sensory Assessment (proprioception of index finger only), Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Neglect Assessment (Bell Test); Test of Attentional Performance (TAP). Collected at inclusion and at discharge (after 3 weeks of intervention). <br>Usability outcomes: NASA TLX, Likert scale (questionnaires). <br>Study drop-out rate, report of adverse events. <br>
