Investigation of goal change to optimize upper-extremity motor performance in a robotic environment.

29 Sep 2009 Robotic devices for therapy have the potential to enable intensive, fully customized home rehabilitation over extended periods for individuals with stroke and traumatic brain injury, thus empowering them to maximize their functional recovery. For ... Read more...

Intention, action planning, and decision making in parietal-frontal circuits.
