Abstract :
The systems which have been developed are safe, easily transportable and offer various training possibilities. Virtual-reality games have been implemented to increase motivation during the 8 weeks of training with post-stroke subjects. Clinical trials have shown that chronic stroke patients can perform the required tasks and that training improves their motor function.
