Figure 8.(a) Mean error reductions during training blocks for time-independent functional training (TIFT) and time-dependent (TD) groups with stand-ard error bars. Joint error decreases over 8 training blocks in TIFT subjects but is unchanged in TD subjects. (b) Mean elbow torque applied by robot during training blocks for TIFT and TD groups with standard error bars. Minimum possible torque for TD is shown, which is elbow torque required to move through path without human arm in robot. This corresponds to best possible performance in TD training mode. Minimum possible TIFT value is also shown, which is applied torque if subject moves through trajectory perfectly without hitting any haptic walls. Brokaw EB, Murray T, Nef T, Lum PS.
