Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate how the cable-driven arm exoskeleton (CAREX) can assist task performance during 3D arm movement tasks under various experimental conditions in healthy individuals and patients with stroke. This study is designed to test motor learning with the robotic rehabilitative device CAREX under three conditions in healthy subjects and subjects with post-stroke hemiparesis.

Conditions

  • Stroke
  • Post-Stroke Hemiparesis

Interventions

OTHER

Gravity Elimination Alone

CAREX will compensate for the gravity of the subject's arm, i.e. subject can move their arm to a specific position and relax all the arm muscles, CAREX will hold the arm in that configuration

OTHER

Path Assistance Alone

CAREX will push subject's arm to a pre-specified path. If the arm is not in the path, CAREX will generate some force that is proportional to the distance between the hand and the path. The subject will feel like having a spring connected between his hand and the path
