AE: Position Matching Absolute Error, Vel. Flex./Ext.: Maximum Velocity Flexion/Extension, AROM/PROM: Active/Passive Range of Motion, Force Flex./Ext.: Maximum Force Flexion/Extension, RMSE Slow/Fast: Tracking Error RMSE Slow/Fast, FMA: Fugl-Meyer Upper Limb Motor Assessment, kUDT: kinesthetic Up-Down Test, BBT: Box & Block Test, AUC: Area Under the Curve of the Receiver Operating Characteristic, % impaired: % of stroke subjects classified as impaired according to z-scores, % class. agree.: % classification agreement as compared to clinical scores, Corr.: Spearman correlation of robotic metric with a clinical score. The defined threshold for discriminant validity was: AUC>0.7. Statistical significance: p-value<0.05: *, p-value<0.01: **, p-value<0.001: ***
