Abstract

Stroke is the most common cause of complex disability and many patients do not achieve adequate motor recovery of the upper limb with current rehabilitation procedures. Evidence supporting the use of bilateral arm training and virtual reality during stroke rehabilitation has been published. This paper describes two devices developed to use computer games during bilateral arm training. A pilot study of one of the devices showed a mean improvement in the upper limb section of the Fugl Meyer assessment of 4.2 (range 0--10), following a 10 session intervention. Clinician and end-user focus groups determined that the systems were acceptable forms of arm rehabilitation therapies.
