ArmAssist


The ArmAssist by Tecnalia is a brace which supports the arm after a stroke. By now there is already a second generation ArmAssist. The goal is to perform several exercises that train the mobility of the arm and hand of the patient, through several serious games. With the latest version, the progress of the therapy can be monitored remotely by a healthcare professional. The serious games can ensure variation in the therapy and motivation for the patient, to lead to the best result.
This enhances the experience of the patient and the accessibility, and can also prevent healthcare expenses in the future.
