With the development of science and technology, people are trying to use robots to assist in stroke rehabilitation training. This study aims to analyze the result of the formative test to provide the orientation of upper limb rehabilitation robot design optimization. We invited 21 physical therapists (PTs) and eight occupational therapists (OTs) who had no experience operating any upper limb rehabilitation robots before, and 4 PTs and 1 OT who had experience operating upper limb rehabilitation robots. Data statistics use the Likert scale. The general group scored 3.5 for safety-related topics, while the experience group scored 4.5. In applicability-related questions, the main function score was 2.3 in the general group and 2.4 in the experience group; and the training trajectory score was 3.5 in the general group and 5.0 in the experience group. The overall ease of use score was 3.1 in the general group and 3.6 in the experience group. There was no statistical difference between the two groups. The methods to retouch the trajectory can be designed through the feedback collected in the formative test and gathering further detail in the next test. Further details about the smooth trajectory must be confirmed in the next test. The optimization of the recording process is also important to prevent users from making additional effort to know it well.
