SHRUG: stroke haptic rehabilitation using gaming

Abstract

This demonstration paper describes SHRUG, an interactive shoulder exerciser for rehabilitation. Firstly, the system's interactive and responsive elements provide just-in-time feedback to the patients and can also be used by the therapists to observe and personalise the rehabilitation program. Secondly, it has a gamified element, which is expected to engage and motivate the patient throughout the rehabilitation process. With this demonstration, the participants will be able to use the system and play the games introduced by SHRUG and observe the feedback.
