ARMStrokes: A Mobile App for Everyday Stroke Rehabilitation

I'm sure you'll have to get this thru your doctor. You wouldn't want to take your own initiative about your recovery because your ideas might conflict with your doctors ideas on getting you to 100% recovery. You do have a stroke protocol to get you to 100% recovery ? DON'T YOU?

In this paper, we present a novel smartphone-based rehabilitation approach called ARMStrokes
that provides real-time support for stroke survivors to complete rehabilitation exercises for upper
extremity recovery. ARMStrokes allows stroke survivors to exercise through interactive games
anytime and anywhere and receive instant feedback about the quality of their performance.
Stroke survivors can also communicate with their therapists or physicians through the
supporting web-based platform. Focus groups involving stroke survivors, caregivers, and
therapists have been conducted to evaluate the system and the feedback is highly positive.
