This paper proposes a post-stroke rehabilitation system for hemiparetic-arm based on the application of both gyro and accelerometer sensor. The study focuses on designing, developing and simulating the results. The result is documented for the purpose of post-processing and progressive status tracking. The subject needs to wear a set of sensors over the wrist while performing a few basics arm movement. The data will be converted into series of readable data and saved into a microSD card then carried out to a computer for analyzing the pattern. The experiment demonstrates the capabilities of the sensors to produce extended information regarding arm movement activities. It is believed that the system offers more information than conventional method and also the ability to improve training quality, results and patients progress. For initial proof of concept, the system will be tested to a healthy normal subject.
