Computational models of neuromotor recovery following a stroke might help to unveil the underlying physiological mechanisms and might suggest how to make recovery faster and more effective. Here we review computational models of use-dependent neuromotor recovery and their implications for treatment. Some of these models focus on the "central"...

EMG signals are often used to control prostheses or assistive devices, but have been rarely used in rehabilitation. We propose a novel approach to personalised rehabilitation, based on EMG-driven force field adaptation. As a step toward this direction, here we show how EMG activity and movement data during a robot-assisted motor task can be...

Physical interaction with a partner plays an essential role in our life experience and is the basis of many daily activities. When two physically coupled humans have different and partly conflicting goals, they face the challenge of negotiating some type of collaboration. This requires that both participants understand their partner's state and...
