About
Static shoulder rehabilitation exercises are performed by stroke patients suffering from shoulder subluxation, which requires pushing the hand against a rigid surface by maintaining the elbow joint at a fixed position. This method can overtrain muscles when done unsupervised A compact and cost-effective tabletop monitoring device for static shoulder therapy is developed . Device is a rigid structure that utilizes a 3D printed three-axis force sensor to which a palm rest is attached.
