Reviewer 2 Report

This study disclosed a 6-DoF upper limb rehabilitation robot for the rehabilitation of stroke patients, especially those in middle and late stage. Here are some comments for the authors:

1. Brunnstrom stages of stroke can help you define the suitable stroke patients. And the spasticity influences the patients to use the robot a lot. It makes sense that the stroke patients need the rehabilitation, but what is the key advantage for the patients in middle or late stage (it is confused) using your ULRR?

2. The movement trajectory of robot is different from the patient's. How to fit the patient's limb and motion is quite important. It affects the comfort and efficientcy of the rehabilitation. The authors should describe more how to set up the ULRR on a patient. Besides, before testing the stroke patients, we may concern the usability. It is suggested to test in healthy subjects and check the motion of ULRR.
