Abstract :
The Rutgers Arm II trains primarily shoulder motor control, arm dynamic response, endurance and cognitive anticipatory strategies in virtual environments. It improves on our earlier Rutgers Arm by replacing magnetic tracking with a visual tracking and by the use of a training table that tilts. Pilot trials with a single subject showed clear dependency on table tilt angle. Further trials are ongoing.
