Aim and Scope: To improve upper limb function, current stroke interventions employ various treatment methods targeted at the nervous system. Interventions and studies are underway regarding continuous upper limb training programs, such as constraintinduced movement therapy, mirror therapy, imagery training, and robot therapy. Method: In recent years, treatments using virtual reality systems have also been applied. And various evaluation methods were developed for stroke patients. However, despite the various treatment and evaluation methods introduced thus far, most therapists still insist on applying the methods that they have mainly been using. If the therapist can accurately recognize each treatment/evaluation methods and apply the appropriate treatment method to various situations, a more qualitative treatment can be applied. Conclusion: This study intends to introduce the existing treatment and evaluation methods of improving stroke patients__ampersandsignrsquo; upper limb function and find ways for therapists to make better use of them through a proper understanding of each method__ampersandsignrsquo;s characteristics.&#13;
