| Popis: | This paper presents experimental data evaluating the merits of using a fun and engaging therapy protocol over a less engaging one in the context of a low-cost robot/computer motivating rehabilitation system for stroke rehabilitation called TheraDrive. The preliminary results suggest that there is a small advantage of the engaging therapy over the rote therapy in reducing motor impairment, improving ADL function, and improving stability. The more engaging protocol has an advantage in maintaining engagement and interest in therapy. |
