Abstract
Traditional rehabilitation treatments for stroke patients are often limited in their scope; the location, availability and capacity of a physiotherapist in addition to methods of quantifying treatment effectiveness may all be restricting factors yet are also crucial in providing a successful therapy to patients. Rehabilitation robotics is an evolving field with the potential to increase therapeutic effectiveness. We thus have developed a portable robotic arm orthosis (RAO) capable of actuating a user’s arm in 2 Degrees of Freedom (2DOF), namely elbow flexion and extension and forearm pronation and supination. The exoskeleton is fabricated from lightweight materials, 3D printed ABS and carbon fibre, and is battery operated. Motion sensors incorporated in the RAO allow movement control and analyses. The paper will review the mechanical properties and performance of the device. Several tests are performed to confirm the design parameters are met. Finally we suggest treatment alternatives as well as future orthoses advancements.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
