Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Device-assisted rehabilitation
Electrical Stimulation; Rehabilitation Robot
The recruited subjects will receive 20-session device assisted upper limb training with an intensity of 3 to 5 sessions/week, which will be finished within 7 consecutive weeks. In each session, the subjects will conduct the system assisted and task-oriented upper limb training for 1.5 hours.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* have unilateral ischemic brain injury or intracerebral hemorrhage at least 6 months after the onset of single stroke
* have moderate level of motor impairment in the affected upper limb, assessed by Fugl-Meyer Assessment (9\<shoulder/elbow\<27; 6\<wrist/hand\<18)
* have enough cognition to be able to follow the training protocol as assessed by Mini-metal State Examination (MMSE\>21)
* have detectable EMG signals (3 times of the standard deviation above the baseline) from the upper limb muscles.
