Abstract :
Task-oriented training improves skilled arm-hand performance after stroke. Exercises for skill training are however not easy to implement in rehabilitation technology, especially for complex skills that involve object manipulation. In this paper, a skill training method, suitable for technology-supported training of arm-hand performance after stroke is presented. A sensor-based and robotic system in which the training method is used, are described.
