Physical impairments due to stroke make patients hard to visit clinic/hospital for getting rehabilitation services. Telerehabilitation, the remote delivery of rehabilitation services, has been considered as the promising solution to this problem. In this topic, a telerobotic system has been proposed for kinesthetic sensation based remote assessment of stroke patient’s impaired elbow. In addition, a robot-aided in-home therapy is going to be developed by reducing cost and complexity of therapy, and by improving effectiveness of therapy.
