Abstract

In order to regain motor control, stroke patients should do various exercises that target at specific body functions. During daily exercising, they need assistance from either therapists or caregivers in setting tasks, providing feedback and other activities. Due to aging population, the demand for technology support in stroke recovery has rapidly increased in last decade. This paper presents a portable and interactive prototype designed to facilitate arm reaching exercise. It consists of a tabletop device and a game map that serves as visual guidance on arm movements. This device also provides light and sound feedback while patients can choose different game modes. Preliminary user trials support the implementation of tangible interactive training in rehab centers and further inspire us on building a tabletop training system.
