摘要

This paper describes the development of a novel control system for a robotic arm orthosis for assisting patients in motor training following stroke. The robot allows naturalistic motion of the arm and is as mechanically compliant as a human therapist''s arms. This compliance preserves the connection between effort and error that appears essential for motor learning, but presents a challenge: accurately creating desired movements requires that the robot form a model of the patient''s weakness, since the robot cannot simply stiffly drive the arm along the desired path. We show here that a standard model-based adaptive controller allows the robot to form such a model of the patient and complete movements accurately. However, we found that the human motor system, when coupled to such an adaptive controller, reduces its own participation, allowing the adaptive controller to take over the performance of the task. This presents a problem for motor training, since active engagement by the patient is important for stimulating neuroplasticity. We show that this problem can be solved by making the controller continuously attempt to reduce its assistance when errors are small. The resulting robot successfully assists stroke patients in moving in desired patterns with very small errors, but also encourages intense participation by the patient. Such robot assistance may optimally provoke neural plasticity, since it intensely engages both descending and ascending motor pathways.
