Non-motorised rehabilitation device for performance assessment in upper limb stroke rehabilitation: A pilot study

Stroke patients with upper limb disability restricted to carry out their activities of daily living. The patient needs a motivation to recover from a stroke and the patient also needs to go through a rehabilitation process at the same time. The conventional rehabilitation process scoring systems are...
