  1. Data are reported as medians (interquartile ranges). FMA–UE: Fugl–Meyer Assessment–Upper Extremity, FMA–WH: Fugl–Meyer Assessment–Wrist and Hand, MBI: Modified Barthel Index. “*” indicates a significant difference from the FOT group, “#” indicates a significant difference from the PM group. (MRT: robot-assisted mirror therapy group. PM: Passive Movement. FOT: Functional Occupational Therapy).
