Electromyography-controlled gamified exercise system for the distal upper extremity: a usability assessment in subacute post-stroke patients

CONCLUSIONS: The novel electromyography-controlled gamified exercise system may have sufficient usability and enjoyability to motivate patients with a wide range of paretic levels to perform repetitive finger and wrist movements.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONThe electromyography-controlled gamified exercise system had overall positive perspectives on the usability of the system.This exercise system could help motivate patients with a wide range of paretic levels to perform repetitive finger and wrist movements.PMID:34102940 | DOI:10.1080/17483107.2021.1936663
