Abstract
The BrightArm rehabilitation system is designed for integrative motor, emotive and cognitive training of low- and higher-functioning individuals. This paper presents the BrightArm's first feasibility study on 5 elderly skilled nursing facility residents chronic post-stroke. Results show improvements in motor impairments, upper extremity function, independence in activities of daily living, as well as better focusing and short-term visual memory following therapy. There was uniformly good acceptance of the technology by the participants which gave it an overall rating of 4.1 out of 5.
