Abstract
In the paper, we developed the mobile based rehabilitation system for patients with upper extremity hemiplegia after stroke and evaluated clinical usefulness and effectiveness of the system. The sensors built in the mobile device were used to track patients' upper limb motion and the movements was transferred to the mobile device through bluetooth connection so that the game contents could be interact with the movements. For the clinical evaluation of the effectiveness, 12 patients were recruited and make them perform an exercise of their wrist, shoulder, and forearm using the system for two weeks. The results showed significant improvement in upper limb function, quality of life and depression. Given the fact that our experiment, we verified mobile based rehabilitation program could be useful and effective for the clinical use.
