ILC for stroke rehabilitation: can current approaches cope with trial-varying initial conditions?

ILC for stroke rehabilitation: can current approaches cope with trial-varying initial conditions?
Iterative learning control (ILC) has been widely used in rehabilitation, having recently succeeded in obtaining target postures of the hand and wrist. However, it is not designed to deal with the trial-varying initial conditions or disturbances that often occur in biological systems. This paper validates the application of ILC in this context, and shows its equivalence to a particular form of feedback controller. Experimental results then highlight the benefits of this approach. This work provides valuable insight into principled control design within the rehabilitation setting.

Abstract

Iterative learning control (ILC) has been widely used in rehabilitation, having recently succeeded in obtaining target postures of the hand and wrist. However, it is not designed to deal with the trial-varying initial conditions or disturbances that often occur in biological systems. This paper validates the application of ILC in this context, and shows its equivalence to a particular form of feedback controller. Experimental results then highlight the benefits of this approach. This work provides valuable insight into principled control design within the rehabilitation setting.
