It is unclear how the variability of kinematic errors experienced during motor training affects skill retention and motivation. We used force fields produced by a haptic robot to modulate the kinematic errors of 30 healthy adults during a period of p...

Robots are a promising tool for rehabilitation, and research suggests combining assistance with subject participation to maintain motivation and engagement. In this study, we compare two different types of robotic assistance for hand rehabilitation: ...
Rodent models are widely used to investigate neural changes in response to motor learning. Usually, the behavioral readout of motor learning tasks used for this purpose is restricted to a binary measure of performance (i.e. "successful" movement vs. ...
In this issue of Neuron, Chiappa et al. describe how neural networks can be trained to perform complex hand motor skills. A key to their approach is curriculum learning, breaking learning into stages, leading to good control.
BACKGROUND: There is equivocal evidence regarding the effectiveness of robotic guidance on the (re)learning of voluntary motor skills. Robotic guidance can improve the performance of continuous/ tracking skills, although being seldom more effective t...
OBJECTIVE: The Fugl-Meyer motor scale (FM) is a well-validated measure for assessing upper extremity and lower extremity motor functions in people with stroke. The FM contains numerous items (50), which reduces its clinical usability. The purpose of ...

: Being able to identify individual differences in skilled motor learning during disorienting conditions is important for spaceflight, military aviation, and rehabilitation.: Blindfolded subjects ( = 34) were strapped into a device that behaved like ...
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) allows an intensive gait training in patients with cerebral palsy (CP). There are few evidences on the effectiveness of RAGT in adults with CP.
