System design. The participant sat at a workstation. The impaired arm was strapped to a SaeboMAS arm support and electrodes were positioned on the anterior deltoid, triceps and wrist extensors. An electro-goniometer over the wrist joint and a Microsoft Kinect captured the participant’s movements. The bubble displays the task template customised to each participants arm length. Green = button located at 60% of arm length; Blue = button located at 80% of arm length; Red = button located at 75% of arm length, 45° to the impaired side; Yellow = button located at 75% of arm length, 45° across body; small yellow circles = location that object was grasped from and repositioned to (60% and 95% of arm length). The cabinet housed the light switch tasks (located at 75 and 80% of reach for the high and low light switch tasks respectively); the draw task (located at 80% of reach) was on the reverse side of the cabinet.
