The ICF classifies functioning and disability into (1) body functions and structures (physiological functions and anatomical parts of body systems) and (2) activities and participation (performance of a task or action involvement in a life situation). In this respect, the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) of the World Health Organization provides a common theoretical framework for all health professions to operationalize aspects and factors related to health and daily functioning. Stroke has important consequences on the functionality of individuals.

These findings indicate that basal upper limb motor function is associated with improved performance following a combined intervention of conventional treatment and robotic intervention. The multivariate regression models showed that baseline levels of upper limb performance and motor function predicted >95% of the variance in upper limb performance ( p 75% of the post-intervention variance ( p < 0.05). Upper limb and daily performance were measured with the MAL and SIS-16 scales. Sensorimotor function was measured with Semmes-Weinstein Monofilaments ® and the Fugl-Meyer Assessment Upper Extremity Scale. Participants in the experimental group (n = 9) received a robotic intervention in addition to conventional treatment. A single-blind, non-randomized, controlled clinical trial was conducted. Thus, the aim of this study was to examine the relationship between baseline levels of sensorimotor function and daily performance and its impact on post-intervention improvement in people with stroke following a robotic intervention. However, it is unknown whether the baseline levels of sensorimotor function and performance interrelate with the improvement in upper limb and daily performance. New technologies have been developed to complement conventional interventions to better target the specific needs of people with stroke, and they have been shown to improve both function and performance.
