Exclusion Criteria:
* Non-stroke related causes of arm motor impairment.
* Has unstable or terminal medical conditions which may affect participation (e.g.: unresolved sepsis, postural hypotension, end stage renal failure, cancer, retroviral disease, on immunosuppressive therapy) or anticipated life expectancy of \<1 year due to malignancy or neurodegenerative disorder.
* Local factors which may be worsened by intensive arm therapy: spasticity of Modified Ashworth Scale grades 3-4, skin wounds, shoulder pain Pain Scale \>5/10, active/non-united fractures or arthritis or fixed joint/tissue flexion contractures of shoulder, elbow, wrist or fingers incompatible with tenoexo interface.
* Patient with severe cognitive, perceptual (include hemi-neglect), and/or emotional-behavioural issues that preclude participation.
* Experiencing moderate to severe levels of pain (Numerical Vertical Pain Scale \> 5).
* Is pregnant or breast feeding. Neither the tenoexo nor the IMUs have been tested to evaluate the usage with pregnant and/or breast feeding mothers. Further, due to the length of the study, pregnancy may make it difficult to follow the study schedule.
