Consistent Arm Rehabilitation from Clinical to Home Environment - Integrating the Universal Haptic Drive into the TeleReha Software Platform

This paper describes the current work on integrating a haptic force feedback device, named the Universal Haptic Drive (UHD), for upper limb training into a software platform for telerehabilitation which has been developed for at-home rehabilitation after stroke. The aim of the integration is to provide a consistent training and assessment platform during the entire rehabilitation period, from clinical facilities to home, while also allowing less specialized supervision to rehabilitate a stroke patient.
