I'm sure your doctor is not following the
American Institute of Physics. But then this is just monitoring not a rehab protocol.

Abstract.
This paper investigates the muscle activation of the upper arm
for the progress
monitoring of post-stroke
rehabilitation. The performance measure is an indicator to
monitor the progress of the rehabilitation exercise. The aim is
for the fast recovery from the lost function of the upper limb
as a result of the paralyzed
patients. The investigation
results will be employed in virtual reality (VR) game technology in the stroke rehabilitation exercise. It can solve the
problem of the conventional stroke therapy which some prove inefficient and even some fail to regain
patients’
upper
arm. The rehabilitation task requires the muscle activity measurement and
monitoring of the progress that involve both
fundamental and functional movements. By consistently do the rehabilitation exercise, patients can slowly develop the
motor functions, which enables them to slowly regain the movement of the affected limb. In the experiments, five healthy
subjects were selected. The experimental results show that deltoid has a significant activation compared with the bicep.
In the VR systems, these two muscles will be used to monitor the progress of the rehabilitation.
