Figure 3

Patient-tailored and adaptive therapy concept. The difficulty levels of the neurocognitive robot-assisted exercises (detailed in Figure 2) are customized before the therapy onset using the assessed rotational range of motion (ROM φ ), the just perceptible difference threshold in grasping aperture (DL) and the stiffness Weber fraction (Wf). An automatic difficulty adaptation routine adjusts the exercise difficulty level on a session-by-session basis according to the performance during the last session of the respective exercise (performance computed over the entire exercise session).
