Brief Summary:
The goal of this project is to develop a low-cost user-friendly portable telerehabilitation system for physical therapy of the upper limb after stroke or traumatic brain injury The system is based on the use of a commercially available force feedback joystick and will work with an ordinary home PC and a standard high-speed internet connection Using the joystick the patient will perform exercises designed to aid in recovering motor function of the hand and arm The joystick will be programmed to either assist or resist the patients movements The system will include sophisticated analysis of patient status and progress to provide the therapist and physician with detailed information In the first phase of the study we will develop the system in cooperation with the physical therapy staff and other rehabilitation specialists The investigators will examine the usability comfort safety and therapeutic benefit of the system In the second phase of the study the investigators will employ the system in patients homes using the internet to connect to rehabilitation specialists in the clinic The study hypothesis is that it is possible to adapt commercially available low cost gaming equipment such as force feedback joysticks to provide therapy for patients in their own homes and that patients will be able to work with this system and will find it enjoyable and helpful for recovering motor function
