Abstract
The RETRAINER S1 system is an upper limb rehabilitation device designed to be used in repetitive task-oriented training. While the device itself is intrinsically controlled by the wearer, the execution of the training exercises is automatically controlled by a finite-state machine. This contribution discusses three different control strategies tested in a clinical environment.
Research supported by European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No 644721.
