ArmAssist: A Telerehabilitation Solution for Upper-Limb Rehabilitation at Home

ArmAssist (AA), developed by TECNALIA, is a telerehabilitation platform aiming to help post-stroke subjects maintain the rehabilitation of the upper-limb at home. The AA includes robotic modules with multiple sensors to train and measure the users’ voluntary movements. An assessment platform based on serious games is also included to not only engage the user but also perform automated evaluation of arm and hand function and their evolution over time. Moreover, the AA facilitates at-home rehabilitation with limited remote supervision by the therapist. In the present paper, the technical specifications and developments of the AA are described. Additionally, a summary of the outcomes of a usability evaluation of the AA is presented.
