Impairment-based robotic intervention for reaching function

All participants will undergo 8 weeks of reaching practice in the ACT3D. Frequency and duration will be matched at three 1.5-hour sessions per week. All reaching practice will include abduction (gravity) loading standardized to the participant's motor abilities. The experimental group intervention will also include a horizontal viscous resistant element similar to pushing the arm through molasses.
