If your therapist isn't following this they should be reminded of keeping up with current research. It would be wonderful if we had objective analysis of our movement deficits. Then we could have decent writeups of what works.

Fully mobile and wireless motion capturing is a mandatory requirement
for undisturbed and non-reactive analysis of human movements. Therefore,
inertial sensor platforms are used in applications like analysis of
training sessions in sports or rehabilitation, and allow non-restricted
motion capturing. The computation of the required reliable orientation
estimation based on the inertial sensor RAW data is a demanding
computational task. Highly customized and thus low-power wearable
computation platforms require low-level, platform independent
communication protocols and connectivity. State-of-the-art small sized
commercial inertial sensors either lack the availability of an open,
platform independent protocol, wireless connectivity or extension
interfaces for additional sensors. Therefore, a extensible, wireless
inertial sensor called (IM)2SU∗, featuring onboard
inertial sensor fusion, for use in home based stroke rehabilitation is
proposed. To evaluate orientation estimation accuracy an optical system
is used as golden reference. The proposed IMU provides high orientation
estimation accuracy, low costs, a platform independent, wireless
connection and extensibility.
