From: Effects of a remote-handling-concept–based task-oriented arm training (ReHab-TOAT) on arm-hand skill performance in chronic stroke: a study protocol for a two-armed randomized controlled trial

High dexterity

Haptic feedback sensitivity

10 g

Payload

10 kg

Highly programmable

Weight compensation

• Weight of Dexter™ arm is ‘electronically’ removed

• Weight of a tool can be removed

Force scaling

Force feedback can be increased or decreased

Active constraints

Use of kinematic feedback to assist tasks, e.g. using a tool

Virtual walls

A virtual environment can be created

Guiding trajectories

‘Attraction path’ to guide a movement
