TeleREHA: Online/Offline web platform for telerehabilitation of post-stroke arm impairment

This document presents a telerehabilitation system for training the upper limbs after stroke. The system uses serious games on a web platform and an electro-mechanical device called ArmAssist which acts as a tool to support arm reach movements and provide the control input for the rehabilitation games. We describe two versions of the system: one is adapted to be used at facilities where no network connection is available; the other one can be used remotely through the Internet, with patients at home carrying out their rehabilitation games, and with therapists at their workplace supervising and assessing patients’ evolution over a period of time. The document also describes preliminary feedback results of usability testing at two rehabilitation facilities.
