Description: This grant builds on our recent studies of human-robot interactions to help us understand and treat the movement deficits arising from stroke. We propose to use a newly validated modeling technique to characterize stroke motor behavior and related movement deficits (Aim 1), and then use this model to custom-design a force field that will constructively reshape the stroke subject's movements (Aim 2). The results should help provide a clear understanding of stroke motor deficits, and provide direction for many forms of research in the new area of robot assisted rehabilitation.
