RehabTouch Home Therapy for Stroke Patients

RehabTouch: A Mixed-reality Gym for Rehabilitating the Hands, Arms, Trunk, and Legs After Stroke

We will investigate the efficacy of a newly developed exercise device (RehabTouch) for people in the subacute stage after a stroke compared to a traditional tabletop exercise program. RehabTouch uses embedded sensors that can track and record the patient's direction and degree of movement as they perform exercises described on a computer.
