Abstract
A computer-based system provides arm movement therapy for patients with sensory motor impairments. The system is based off a web site that provides access to assessment and therapy exercises designed to test and improve motor coordination in the arm. It operates over the World Wide Web using client-side applets, and can track user movement recovery over time and report it to a remote server computer. The system can also be customized to provide a personalized program of therapeutic exercise to a multiplicity of individuals. A mass manufactured computer input device senses the user's movement and provides a means to track sensory motor performance.
