Summary

The project targets stroke survivors to investigate the effect of augmented feedback (using robotic force cues and visual feedback) and rewards (game scores), on their upper limb reaching patterns and trunk compensatory movements

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Visual + Force Feedback

Visual Feedback- Monitor displays two cursors that will represent the participant's hands, the cursors will fill with red ink as the user starts to compensate outside a "normal" error band. The amount of ink will increase proportionally to the magnitude of trunk compensation. Force Feedback- Cues will be provided as resistance to move the robots' handles. These cues will be applied when the user moves outside a "normal" error band. The magnitude of the cue will be proportional to the magnitude of trunk compensation.

OTHER

Visual + Force + Game Scores Feedback

Visual Feedback- Monitor displays two cursors that will represent the participant's hands, the cursors will fill with red ink as the user starts to compensate outside a "normal" error band. The amount of ink will increase proportionally to the magnitude of trunk compensation. Force Feedback- Cues will be provided as resistance to move the robots' handles. These cues will be applied when the user moves outside a "normal" error band. The magnitude of the cue will be proportional to the magnitude of trunk compensation. Game Scores- Numerical score displayed next to the cursors. The participant will be rewarded with more points when less compensation is exhibited, or with less points when an increased level of compensation is measured.
