Performance gains were not significantly different between the two techniques, but there was a nearly significant trend for the visual demonstration condition to be better than the haptic guidance condition (p = 0.09).

Therapists typically completely constrain the arm configuration during manual guidance, whereas the current study guided only the hand leaving the subject to resolve the joint redundancy, a difference that might be significant.
