This paper extends an adaptive control approach for robotic movement therapy that learns deficiencies in a patient's neuromuscular output and assists accordingly. In this method, adaptation is based on trajectory tracking error and a model of unimpai...
BACKGROUND: After cervical spinal cord injury, current options for treatment of upper extremity motor functions have been limited to traditional approaches. However, there is a substantial need to explore more rigorous alternative treatments to facil...
Ample empirical evidence endorses the role of associative learning in pain-related fear acquisition. Nevertheless, research typically focused on self-reported and psychophysiological measures of fear. Avoidance, which is overt behavior preventing the...
