Abstract
The control framework of Chap. 6 enables functional tasks to be assisted in a natural manner by exploiting underlying human motor control principles. To confirm its utility for rehabilitation, these are now used to assist tasks involving real objects, with ES applied to the wrist and finger extensors, as well as to muscles in the arm and shoulder. As highlighted in Chap. 5, there is strong evidence that functional improvement following training is mostly restricted to the actually trained functions and activities [1]. By supporting functional, whole arm tasks including wrist extension and opening of the hand, we therefore address limitations in the previous system. In addition, we incorporate non-invasive, markerless sensing technology. More detailed results of the study and in-depth analysis can be found in [2].
