Abstract:Robotic training following stroke is an emerging rehabilitation technique to facilitate neuromuscular plasticity for regaining functional movements. Most existing training robots follow a defined task-based trajectory in assistive or resistive mode. Whilst this approach may be effective in certain cases it does not allow training of arm or leg in a natural way as the motion is precisely guided by the robot or exoskeleton. The ideal training would be to allow arm/leg follow a trajectory naturally without any augmented support and bring it back when the limb is diverted significantly from the goal. This paper presents implementation of this approach in a virtual environment using a simple force feedback joystick. This will guide the arm within a tunnel of trajectory by providing assistance or resistance depending on location of the arm. The technique can be extended for 3-dimensoional arm movement which can help learn neural plasticity naturally. © 2010 IEEE.
