Abstract

This work presents preliminary results of a clinical study with sub-acute stroke patients using a hybrid system for wrist rehabilitation. The patients trained their wrist flexion/extension motion through a target tracking task, where electrical stimulation and robotic torque assisted them proportionally to their tracking error. Five sub-acute stroke patients have completed the training for 3 sessions on separate days. The preliminary results show hybrid assistance improves tracking performance and motion smoothness in most participants. In each session, patients' tracking performances before and after training were evaluated in unassisted tracking trials, without assistance. Their unassisted performance was compared across sessions and the results suggest that moderately to severely impaired patients might benefit more from hybrid training with our system than mildly impaired patients. Subjective assessments from all sessions show that the patients found the use of the device very comfortable and the training enjoyable. More data is being collected and future work will aim at verifying these trends.
