Cost-efficiency data for rehabilitation are complex to collect. Further, cost-saving occurs in other budgets, limiting their effect to systems that allow rational societal planning. Natasha Lannin et al. replicated UK studies, finding similar global savings. bmjopen.bmj.com/content/14/1...

Exergames can be personalized to each indvidual's ability level and needs.

The title of the article is, "Wearable-Based Kinematic Analysis of Upper-Limb Movements During Daily Activities Could Provide Insights into Stroke Survivors' Motor Ability". More information can be accessed in the link provided.
Researchers identified a new measure of wrist kinematics that is reliable & strongly correlates with clinical measures of motor capacity. The measure could allow continuous, objective, & convenient monitoring of motor recovery during rehabilitation after stroke.
