We characterized how hemiparetic stroke survivors and neurologically intact individuals adapt reaching movements to compensate for unpredictable environmental perturbations. We tested the hypotheses that like unimpaired subjects, hemiparetic stroke survivors adapt using sensory information obtained during only the most recent movements and that the reliability of target acquisition decreases as the degree of sensorimotor impairment increases. Subjects held the handle of a two-joint robotic arm…

Trans-radial upper extremity amputees are capable of adapting to a novel dynamic environment
TLDR
In persons with trans-radial arm amputation, motor adaptation to curl fields during reaching is similar to unimpaired individuals, according to mechanisms of motor adaptation, neural plasticity following an upper extremity amputation (UEA), and potential motor recovery therapies for prosthetic users.
Visuo-proprioceptive interactions during adaptation of the human reach.
TLDR
These findings support a switched-input, multisensory model of predictive load compensation wherein visual feedback of transient performance errors overwhelmingly dominates proprioception in determining adaptive reach performance.
Reduced short term adaptation to robot generated dynamic environment in children affected by Cerebral Palsy
TLDR
Spatial abnormalities in children affected by cerebral palsy may be related not only to disturbance in motor control signals generating weakness and spasticity, but also to an inefficient control strategy which is not based on a robust knowledge of the dynamical features of their upper limb.
Reduced Kinematic Redundancy and Motor Equivalence During Whole-Body Reaching in Individuals With Chronic Stroke
TLDR
Therapeutic efforts to enhance the ability of individuals with stroke to find a larger number of task-relevant motor solutions (adaptability) may improve upper limb recovery.
Abnormal adaptation in children affected by cerebral palsy to robot generated dynamic environment
TLDR
The outcome suggests the CP subjects have reduced ability to learn external force and they make greater aiming error because of an inefficient anticipatory strategy during visuomotor task.
A robotic test of proprioception within the hemiparetic arm post-stroke
TLDR
A standardized, quantitative method for evaluating proprioception within the arm on a continuous, ratio scale based on signal detection theory of sensory psychophysics is introduced and is expected to empower future studies to characterize how proprioceptive deficits compromise limb posture and movement control in stroke survivors.
Stroke Rehabilitation Reaches a Threshold
TLDR
A computational model of bilateral hand use in arm reaching is developed to study the interactions between adaptive decision making and motor relearning after motor cortex lesion and can explain previously hard to reconcile data on spontaneous arm use in stroke recovery.
Separate adaptive mechanisms for controlling trajectory and final position in reaching.
TLDR
The results suggest that the brain uses different mechanisms to plan the hand's initial trajectory and final position in point-to-point movements, that it implements these control actions sequentially, and that trajectory planning does not account for specific impedance values to be implemented about the final stabilized posture.
Robotic neurorehabilitation: a computational motor learning perspective
TLDR
Robots are particularly suitable for both rigorous testing and application of motor learning principles to neurorehabilitation and are considered as a general learning problem from the perspective of theoretical learning frameworks such as supervised and unsupervised learning.
Accelerating motor adaptation by virtual reality based modulation of error memories
TLDR
It is predicted that exposure to a distribution of visual motor errors with low variability and centered around task-relevant error values accelerates motor adaptation in patients with cerebellar degeneration.

TLDR
Stroke survivors are less likely than neurologically-intact subjects to adjust motor commands for upcoming movements based on hand trajectory errors experienced on previous trials, and the ability to terminate movement accurately at the desired target was significantly compromised on the impaired side for most stroke survivors.
Hemiparetic stroke impairs anticipatory control of arm movement
TLDR
It is concluded that hemiparetic stroke impairs the ability to implement internal models used for anticipatory control of arm movement, although even some severely weakened subjects retain at least a partial ability to form and use internal models.
Learning to move amid uncertainty.
TLDR
A simple model using information about movement errors and perturbation amplitudes from a single previous trial predicted subject performance in stochastic environments with a high degree of fidelity and further predicted key performance features observed in nonstochastic environments.
Evaluation of robotic training forces that either enhance or reduce error in chronic hemiparetic stroke survivors
TLDR
Within this constrained experimental task, it was found that error-enhancing therapy (as opposed to guiding the limb closer to the correct path) to be more effective than therapy that assisted the subject.
Persistence of motor adaptation during constrained, multi-joint, arm movements.
TLDR
Examination of changes in motor performance associated with adaptation to a novel dynamic environment during goal-directed movements of the dominant arm provides strong experimental evidence that both kinematic and dynamic criteria influence motor adaptation, and that kinematics-dependent factors play a dominant role in the rapid loss of adaptation after restoring the original dynamics.
Visual error augmentation for enhancing motor learning and rehabilitative relearning
TLDR
The results demonstrate that error-augmentation can improve the rate and extent of motor learning of visuomotor rotations in healthy subjects and suggest that error amplification can facilitate neurorehabilitation strategies in brain injuries such as stroke.
Impedance control and internal model formation when reaching in a randomly varying dynamical environment.
TLDR
It is concluded that the human motor system is capable of predicting and compensating for the dynamics of an environment that varies substantially and randomly from trial to trial, while simultaneously increasing the arm's impedance to minimize the consequence of errors in the prediction.
Learned dynamics of reaching movements generalize from dominant to nondominant arm.
TLDR
The results suggest that when the dominant right arm is used in learning dynamics, the information could be represented in the left hemisphere with neural elements tuned to both the right arm and the left arm, in contrast to current practice, which seems to rely on the elements in the nondominant hemisphere tuned only to movements of that arm.
Control of limb dynamics in normal subjects and patients without proprioception.
TLDR
The role of proprioceptive input is examined by comparing the motor performance of five normal subjects with that of two patients with large-fiber sensory neuropathy and found that patients lacking proprioception input from their limbs have particular difficulty performing multijoint movements.
Impairments of reaching movements in patients without proprioception. I. Spatial errors.
TLDR
The spatial errors in human patients with severe proprioceptive deficits resulting from large-fiber sensory neuropathy are characterized by using a task in which visual feedback of errors during movement was prevented and it was revealed that errors were associated with differences in velocity and acceleration for movements in different directions.
