We report on a pilot study of robot therapy with stroke patients. Patients were requested to track a continuously moving target according to a figure-of-eight. Assistance was provided by an attractive force field, whose magnitude was regulated according to a principle of minimal assistance and a principle of consolidation of the learned memory trace. From the analysis of the assistive forces, we show that subjects improve their degree of voluntary control.
我们报告了一项针对中风患者的机器人治疗试点研究。要求患者按照数字8的形状跟踪一个不断移动的目标。由一个引力场提供辅助,其大小根据最小辅助原则和所学记忆痕迹巩固原则进行调节。通过对辅助力的分析,我们表明受试者提高了他们的自主控制程度。
