Abstract

Affordable stroke rehabilitation approaches can maximize the functional independence of stroke survivors discharged after inpatient and outpatient services and improve access to rehabilitation for low-resource environments. This paper briefly describes the evolution of the Theradrive system and its novel use in a robot therapy gym in Mexico, where it was one of 6 devices aimed at improve motor function after stroke. Results from testing with TheraDrive in Mexico in a robot gym suggest it is an effective affordable solution for upper limb stroke rehabilitation whether alone or in a suite with other devices.
