REHABOTICS: Physiotherapy for Hand Spasticity After Stroke Using Robotics and AR Serious Games

Rehabotics is a comprehensive rehabilitation system designed to deliver individualized upper-limb therapy for patients with motor impairments, particularly after stroke. Its core components include an exoskeletal robotic aid for assisted hand training and an interactive augmented reality platform for rehabilitation exercises and functional task practice. The system supports both treatment and assessment by enabling the monitoring of motor performance and patient progress through quantitative data. The overall aim of Rehabotics is to enhance the quality, intensity, and personalization of hand rehabilitation in clinical settings, with the potential to support remote care applications in the future.
