ResumoThere is growing consensus that new technologies in rehabilitation robotics and telerehabilitation systems can lessen the strain on the healthcare system by shifting the focus toward at-home rehabilitation and providing patients with more training autonomy. In this paper, a recently developed integrated solution for providing at-home telerehabilitation is presented. The system combines a low-cost mobile device and table mat for arm reach support, a large touchscreen PC, and a web-based telerehabilitation platform with serious games for assessment and training. The ArmAssist system represents a new generation of tools for reducing the burden of hands-on supervision in clinical stroke rehabilitation and has been met with initial praise for its ease of use in the clinical setting and motivational benefits for the patient.
