In India, patient's relatives learn it from the physiotherapists of the institutions and help the patient to do physiotherapy.

The New England Journal of Medicine reported that many patients had improved quality of life. UK stroke experts said the advance was "exciting" but added that robots were still at early stages of development. Strokes can leave people with long-lasting disability, which can include limited movement and weakness in upper limbs. Intensive therapy, starting as soon as possible after the stroke, is the recommended way to maximise the amount of movement recovered. However, providing the physiotherapist needed for at least a hour per patient per day places large demands on the NHS. The Brown University trial tested a device called the MIT-Manus, specifically designed to help exercise the upper limbs.
