1. A computer-implemented method for computerized scoring at least one functional ability of a patient, comprising:
- using at least one computing unit, said computing unit including at least one processor in communication with at least one sensor located on a robotic rehabilitation platform, and with a non-transitory computer readable medium storing program code for implementation by said at least one processor, to perform the following;
a) receiving an output of said at least one sensor configured for measuring an applied force applied by a patient exercising on said robotic rehabilitation platform configured to be manipulated by said patient by moving a mechanism module of said robotic rehabilitation platform according to a predefined exercising pattern defining a trajectory of a limb manipulation, wherein said trajectory extends between at least two points in a space;
b) identifying at least one manipulation of at least one limb of said patient during said predefined exercising pattern by analyzing said received output of said at least one sensor;
c) computing a functional evaluation score for said at least one functional ability according to said at least one identified manipulation, said functional evaluation score computed according to a function based on a plurality of sub-scores including at least one sub-score calculated from said measured applied force, each sub-score defining a functional component of said at least one manipulation of said at least one limb during said at least one trajectory performed by said patient compared to a full performance capability reference value, and said at least one sub-score includes at least one member selected from the group consisting of;
a quality of movement score, an active range of motion score, and passive range of motion score; and
d) converting said computed functional evaluation score to a respective score of a manual rehabilitation evaluation scale using at least one correlation value obtained from a database storing correlation values between functional ability scores and said manual rehabilitation evaluation scale, to generate an objective evaluation of said patient based on said manual rehabilitation evaluation scale;
wherein said manual rehabilitation evaluation scale comprises a member selected from a group consisting of;
an action research arm test (ARAT), a stroke impact scale (SIS), a motor assessment scale (MAS), a wolf motor function test (WMFT), a motor status score for the Upper Extremity (MSS), and a manual function test (MFT).

Abstract
A method for scoring one or more functional abilities of a patient that comprises exercising a patient according to an exercising pattern, using at least one sensor for sensing one or more manipulations of the patient during the exercising, and scoring the one or more functional abilities according to the sensed manipulations. The scoring is performed according to a visual rehabilitation evaluation scale for scoring the one or more functional abilities.
