Abstract
10 upper-extremity spastic subjects and 10 normal subjects were studie d with a force-reflecting joystick in the performance of a continuous time-tracking task as well as an acquisition task termed, ''Fitts' Law .'' Certain force-reflection paradigms, in a spatial sense, allowed th e spastic subjects to obtain performance proficiency near levels of th e normal subjects as measured by a capacity metric.
