Robot-assisted assessment of sensorimotor control: A case study

While robot-assisted rehabilitation is often found to help recovery, their use often remain limited to clinical trials. Amongst the reasons that may explain their under-use is the difficulty to bridge the gap between the score on a robot-assisted exercise and the control processes that mediate the measured performance. This paper illustrates the potential benefits of a multi-task approach for evaluating sensorimotor control processes. Results from a stroke patient are compared to those of a control group.
