Design of a Telerehabilitation Software Platform for a Compliant Upper-Limb Rehabilitation Orthosis.

Patients with spasticity require intensive rehabilitation to regain motor function, but access is often limited by travel or healthcare constraints. Telerehabilitation provides a structured approach for home-based therapy, allowing patients to perform more exercises with minimal external assistance. This work presents a telerehabilitation platform for a compliant upper-limb robotized orthosis to support rehabilitation in both home and institutional settings with minimal setup required. Built using the OpenTera framework for rapid prototyping and modular service integration, the platform includes a patient user interface for guided exercises, progress tracking, and real-time feedback. A motor control module assists movement based on therapist-prescribed parameters, while role-based access control ensures secure data management for healthcare professionals.
