abstract = {Robotic bimanual training can benefit from understanding how to modify human motor effort in bimanual tasks. We addressed this issue by carrying out a study to investigate whether and how penalizing the use of one hand could alter the hands’ effort distribution.

Robotic bimanual training can benefit from understanding how to modify human motor effort in bimanual tasks.
