Abstract
This paper describes the mechanical and control design of a robotic device for providing therapeutic assistance to arm movement following stroke. The device uses a single motor and a passively oriented linear constraint to al low patients to reach across their workspace. Experimental evaluation of tw o controllers for assisting in reaching is presented.
