Patients with stroke who are suffering from impaired reaching movement experience insufficient spatial and temporal coordination, affecting upper limb functions and ADLs.
Robotic technology with a particular focus on the upper extremity functions has the potential to objectively assess, treat and monitor patients inside and outside medical environments, enabling the individual to receive a user-friendly device and effective rehabilitation therapies.
Training of the upper extremity using a robotic devise with error enhanced forces can improve movement trajectory error and encourage restoration of arm reaching abilities.
