Abstract

this paper presents the design and implementation of a suite of computer-assisted rehabilitation platform techniques that are intended especially for individuals with upper-extremity motor impairments. It utilizes force-reflecting and other devices to provide interactive upper limb assessment and therapy. It includes a rich menu of user-centered performance assessment capabilities, and includes support for telerehabilitation links, for protocol design, and for data analysis. Preliminary results of its use as a research tool for several projects are presented and discussed.
