Abstract

Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability in the USA. Stroke survivors often do not regain bilateral use of their impaired arm. Five design principles are presented as a way of implementing motivational requirements to help robot-assisted therapy environments actively train hemiplegic stroke survivors to manage their compensatory tendencies, use their impaired arm, and regain bilateral arm use.
