摘要

This study explores the use of an upper-limb wearable exoskeleton for teaching violin technique to novices through haptic-assisted training. The educational potential of this technology was evaluated using a framework that integrated quantitative kinematic metrics and qualitative assessments, comparing a group receiving haptic feedback (N = 12) with a control group that did not (N = 12) in a mixed between-within-subjects design. Results from a double-blind expert panel indicated that participants trained with the exoskeleton outperformed the control group during recall measurements. In addition, spatial and spatiotemporal - but not temporal - kinematic metrics related to bowing technique improved significantly during training, with gains persisting during recall, and these outcomes were supported by self-reported user assessments. However, subtle features of the technology also became apparent, including interference with natural shoulder movements, exposing areas for refinement. In conclusion, this study suggests that haptic-assisted training with an exoskeleton can enhance specific motor skills in violin playing, highlighting promising directions for future research in educational technology and providing a quantitative framework for assessing motor skill development in haptic-assisted learning, which can further support the development and validation of educational technologies. However, given the absence of long-term retention measurements and the limited generalizability associated with the small sample size, the findings of this pilot study should be interpreted with caution.
