A wearable vibrotactile device for upper-limb bilateral motion training in stroke rehabilitation: A case study.

Real-time feedback is essential for motor learning. Automated feedback is especially valuable for at-home stroke rehabilitation in the absence of therapist supervision. This study examined the effect of real-time corrective vibrotactile feedback for training bilateral reaching motions.

Usability testing of gaming and social media applications for stroke and cerebral palsy upper limb rehabilitation.

As part of the FEATHERS (Functional Engagement in Assisted Therapy Through Exercise Robotics) project, two motion tracking and one social networking applications were developed for upper limb rehabilitation of stroke survivors and teenagers with cerebral palsy. The project aims to improve the engagement of clients during therapy by using video games and a social media platform. The applications allow users to control a cursor on a personal computer through bimanual motions, and to interact with their peers and therapists through the social media.
