RESUMEN
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.
