Abstract
In this paper we examine the issues pertaining to development of a low-cost telerehabilitation framework for upper-limb dysfunction, that is suitable for deployment in patients´ homes. We use the example of a Virtual Driving Environment (VDE) to present the overall architecture and discuss issues of: (i) quantitative data-acquisition using commercial-off-the-shelf gaming devices; (ii) model-based parametric data transmission/playback; and (iii) parametric biomechanical identification and data reduction; to support individualization within the telerehabilitation regimen.
