The ARM Guide and
Guided Force Training
Aims & Hypotheses

Aims:



to implement guided force training using the ARM
Guide
to compare guided force training with traditional
therapy and free reaching therapy for restoring UE
function
Hypotheses: Guided force training…

accounts for the difference between the MIME and
ARM Guide free reaching outcomes

will be more effective than free reaching exercises and
conventional therapy in promoting arm movement
recovery
Since the last meeting…


Added adaptive assistance normalized to
each subject’s functional ability during
guided force protocol
Trained 9 participants

Adaptive assistance

The assistance converges to approximate
a single value
