Figure 1. Examples of unilateral movements
practiced with robot assistance. (a) Shoulder
flexion, (b) external rotation, and (c) internal
rotation can each be practiced in
three-dimensional space with increasing degrees
of difficulty (e.g., table surface,
table-to-shoulder, then table-to-eye levels).
Targets are physical items, such as stacked
cones, placed on surface of workstation. Each
unilateral movement can be practiced in three
robot operating modes. Bimanual mode is also
available but not illustrated.
