ABSTRACT
This paper presents a clinical feasibility study of a novel Augmented Reflection Technology
system, called TheraMem. The feasibility of the system for physical rehabilitation of the upper
limb and the potential to improve motor impairments following stroke were evaluated. Five
patients participated in a total of 20 sessions of upper limb training with the system. Tailored
support for patients performing the exercises was provided based on the severity and level of
their impairment. Various configurations of the system were evaluated and adjusted to best
match the patient’s preferences as well as the therapeutic requirements. We found that all
patients were able to successfully participate and complete the TheraMem intervention.
Patients’ engagement and motivation was high over the course of the therapy sessions.
